Big Apple section Big Apple section um
first Apple music monthly replay it's
like Spotify rewind but Spotify wrapped
it's like Spotify wrapped but every
month too much you think so it's too
much I have been listening to pretty
much two albums since the year started
I've Le this like serious two album kick
yeah so it would just tell me how much I
listen to those two albums that's what
I'm saying uh which would be kind of
interesting but I don't know I could be
wrong but my personally my listening
habits don't change that much month to
month I like the yearly recap because
it's a the year is long my winter mood
my summer mood my fall mood I feel like
doing it every month I'm just never
going to check this like I don't care
I'll wait till the end of the year yeah
it doesn't I don't know I mean we saw it
also like the Spotify wrapped has a lot
of really interesting fun little data
and they'll make your like aura or
whatever yeah uh this is not that this
is just like you listen to this song for
this many
minutes um so no complaints no notes I
don't know what what are the two albums
you've been listening to this year uh
let me let me see while you do that I uh
want to do a quick interjection and
that's because uh Adam and I drive home
together sometimes carpool save the
environment and on our drive home we've
discovered we really really like
listening to this radio station in
Jersey City 91.1
WFMU uh so if you live in the Jersey
City area or I think the transmission
makes it all the way to Brooklyn um so
anywhere in in the in the New York the
New York City general area check out
91.1 FM there's like always something
good on always we found so um but the
two albums I've been listening to and uh
I'm the host I can talk about whatever I
want this week oh let's go um I've been
listening to Andy schoffs Norm terrific
album and I've been listening to the
compilation of mon live at montro jazz
festival Nina Simone you would record
nice both terrific I don't need to know
how much I've listened to though uh what
about you I've been doing insano by Kid
Cy insano ins great album and creatures
of habit by kilo which is a random Indie
band cool cool you guys want to shout
out some music D no but I'm open I'm
opening up my uh Replay for February
right now oh oh yeah Walmart has wait
you use apple music not much oh okay so
that's funny I only use it in Vision
Pro so it's going to be real limited and
you're you're looking at this Replay in
the Apple music app right uh it brings
you to a website and then kicks you out
to the web app exactly yes for some
reason Apple music replay can only be
looked at in a browser don't know why
wait did Spotify WP the same no it isn't
right no yeah it's you can do it in in
the desktop and the mobile app but I
don't yeah that's the thing they just
only do it in the browser which is fine
Marquez what were you listening to in
division Pro so I I get to the part
where it says uh this is your replay
jump in so I click jump in and it's like
your replay is still in progress check
back in early March oh that's for
February it doesn't give you a January
one I think there is a January say
didn't listen to anything in I didn't
Len okay wow well big let down yeah in
other Apple news there an apple Sports
app now literally got launched this
morning yeah and it's
basically just a like score aggregator
is what it seems like but and this is
one thing we were talking about like in
before we were recording um if you open
up the app actually let me open up right
now just to make sure so I don't get
this wrong but if you open up the app it
gives you the game that's upcoming so
then if you click that game the very
first thing is betting odds on the game
oh
no stats no stats about players or
anything like that just betting odds
which doesn't even have stats no it does
if you like click into it but it's more
like the first thing it gives you is the
betting odds which I found very
interesting look if you Sports if you if
you daily fantasy or whatever the kids
are calling it these days like no shade
you know what I mean I get it it's fun
but it's also like
apple what are you gonna do porn
next like this is like the least Apple
thing I've ever that's more what
interested me it's very unapp likee to
me to be like cuz that is like for
adults betting is for adults it's like
and apple is positioning itself always
to be like safe for your kids like their
whole iPad thing turn off the screen and
everything and now it's just like nope
here's some betting odds this is
unsavory but anyway besides that the app
looks pretty cool no it does I'm excited
I'm excited to not have to Google
Philadelphia 76ers three times a day
yeah
exactly I know I know
Andrew yeah so I signed up for the MLS
uh Apple TV thing that they had and I
actually was really impressed with how
they do the scoring and everything like
it pops up on the dynamic Island you can
watch it there it's all really cool it
also does that with uh other teams that
I follow so like with Nicks Sometimes
it'll just pop up on the screen and I'll
not even know there was a Nick game that
day and I'll be able to like keep up
with the score one thing that I mean
first of all I should clarify this is
only available in the US the UK and
Canada which why I I don't know it's
unfortunate but we are in the US so I
can talk about it um it doesn't have as
in-depth stats as something like uh I
don't know how to pronounce this fot mob
fot what yeah it's an app that
specifically has crazy stats for soccer
or football in the rest of the world um
it's actually the Apple Sports little
Dynamic Island thing is faster than my
TV like a couple weeks ago we were
watching watching an Arsenal game shout
out Arsenal um and the I we're watching
the game Jess is sitting next to me and
on my phone I see Saka scored Saka is
like a good player and I was like oh and
Jess is looking like what what what
happened and she's like looking at the
TV and nothing happened yet and it was a
full like 11 seconds before he scored
which is crazy so I have to like
literally put my phone upside down when
we're watching the game because
otherwise it'll it'll be spoiled okay
I'm on fot mob right now and you were
not kidding bro oh yeah it's crazy is
crazy I have never heard of a stat XG On
Target and then in parentheses xot I
don't know what that means you know this
reminds me of what the what you said
earlier about how the this is going to
take away from the like the number of
times you Google who's winning or what's
happening in a game yeah it reminds me
of Apple's weather app which is it's not
as detailed as the most detailed weather
apps but boy does this take away a lot
of Google searches yeah for sure like if
I just add my top three
teams I Google the scores a lot who's
winning the game who won the game last
night who they play next when do they
play this team a lot of Google searches
it's all just there now something to
keep in mind yeah it's really smart so
some of the sports that they have
currently are MLS uh NBA and CAA
basketball men's and women's NHL
Bundesliga La Liga Liga MX Liga 1
premier league Seri a all the soccer
ones well I shouldn't say all the soccer
ones a lot of the soccer ones wow you
mean Football H yeah yes football sorry
okay excuse me the football there's also
more leagues that are coming wait
there's not even football uh because the
seasons the well that is a good question
are they going to add football next
season supposedly they're going to add
it so the ones that where the season is
over they're it's not included in the
press release but it's upcoming when the
season starts again so WNBA uh MLB NFL
those are coming word yeah so pretty
cool overall like I just found it again
very interesting that the betting odds
was the first thing you see dude I'm not
happy about that but you know I don't
get to decide the world we live in and
uh that is what it is I'm just like why
are they getting a kickback from that do
they get any money from betting apps
doing great why have that at the top is
it just one more Google search they can
take away also I didn't realize that the
odds were like the same for all the
books I would assume different bookies
set different odds but I've never placed
a sports bet so I I don't even if you
like click the odds does it take you to
whoever's they are or like is it just
Vegas odds it actually just reaches into
your pocket and takes your wallet it
does not say cuz if it was specifically
someone I would say they're making
advertising dollars off of that's fair
whatever it doesn't say if I click it
nothing happens yeah ladies if your
boyfriend Sports bets ask him if he has
restrictions CU if you win a lot in
those apps they put restrictions on your
account they kick you off if he says no
I've never been restricted he's losing
your
money
