Thanks to Vodafone on 047-657-657. All right, and we're back in town. Great to be back. Great to have you company on the EFGM podcast.

Thank you for listening. Thank you for downloading. And I think we missed a week, didn't we? Apologies for missing a week while I was at Cupertino or Coop, as they're now calling

it, one of the Apple staff. I rang them while I was in London. They said, I said, I don't know what time it is in Sydney. They go, I don't know.

I mean, Coop. That's what we'll call it from now on Coop. Anyway, Coop, Tina, and look, I just want to say, the people that were on the trip were a bunch of,

there was probably four or five people who'd never been to Apple Park before. And it was, do you know what? It was fun to be the old guy,

back of a golf buggy being driven from one side of Apple Park to the other because it's a huge place. And hearing these people just talk about the place

like, because they'd never been there before. I'm like, oh my God, the things, the stories I could tell you, it's just such an amazing place. And I know my position in this industry and I'm grateful to have achieved the position

that I have, but I also don't take for granted any of the opportunities I get. And that doesn't matter whether that's going to London with Amazon or, you know, San Francisco with Samsung or being able to afford to go to CES with a team or take stick with me to EFAR or getting invited to Apple Park. I don't take it for granted at all.

I love every bit of it and I wish more people could see the things that I get to see. It's just such an amazing place. So yeah, don't take that for granted and love visiting there because it's just architecturally stunning. The landscaping is phenomenal, amazing place. But we are back now grounded by the FGM office and studio and as I look at the security cameras and realise

I've got some TVs for review folks. There's like two, three TVs downstairs. I had a TV delivery just literally in between interviews earlier. There was a five minute window and they arrived. It was perfect timing. It was funny because it was a TV from Sony and they were not couriers. They I think they worked for like Sony service. So they also did deliveries. Anyway,

way, one of the guys came in and he's like, Kogan, because there's a couple of Kogan TVs down there, one I've just reviewed and one I'm about to have on the Today Show for inner financial year. And there's also a bunch of other products down there from Kogan because I've got a winter warmers segment. So there's just a lot. And it was like he was talking

down upon the ground. I'm like, dude, I know you work for Sony, but not everyone can afford a Sony, right? Just calm down. So there's a lot, there's a lot to cover and lots to get to over the weeks ahead. We've probably got a little about a month now at home before we head away again and weirdly that event hasn't been announced yet so I really don't think

I can say what it is or where it is even though it's widely understood. But anyway I'm not going to break anyone's confidences but anyway we're off again in July and then should be home for a month before we head to EFRA in Berlin. Like the year is literally just clipping away at a rate of knots. Unbelievable. Because we've got Berlin at the end of August.

We work on the assumption that Apple's phone event will be early September and then I've got my family arriving in the US for three or four weeks of holiday after that. So yeah, there'll be a bit of a break near the end of the year because there's no way producer Rob can bank enough content that we can get through that. But so you'll forgive a month or so of break in September-ish

on the EFGM podcast. We, Steven and I are working pretty hard to make sure that we can fulfill the EV podcast and the movie podcast through that time.

And we'll do, we'll do Dubbed, sorry, we'll do EFAR and Apple iPhone event, TubeLogs Talking Tech. And then I assume we'll enlist the great help of Val Quinn and from Gadget Guy to fill in on TubeLogs Talking Tech

for a couple of weeks while I'm away with my family. So there's a bit going on And it's weird to think we're in June, but I'm talking about September,

but that's the life we lead. We've got to plan that far ahead with things. It's amazing how far your diary fills up. And it's been a long time since I had a day job,

as you well know, it's been 10 years, but I guess your diary filled up just as quick. You know, people wanting meetings and I would go to the Melbourne office

and things like that of SBS. So your diary fills up and you get busy. But that's the joy of it. So big show coming up.

We got a couple of things to talk about today. We've got your calls as always. A couple of calls to get through one of them is a follow up. But we also, we're gonna talk TVs with Samsung.

We're gonna talk about RGB TV technology. We're gonna talk about big screen technology in the Australian market. And I've also obtained a good chat

with Carol Bennett, the CEO of ACANN, the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network. Because I've seen them talking a little bit about like the triple zero inquiries

and universal mobile obligations and things like that. So I wanna understand where they're at and understand whether or not the Australian government is ready for the future of mobile technology.

Think satellite, think triple zero. I don't get the feeling that we're actually prepared
