And now we think we welcome into studio, and he may have been listening to us try and work out our technical difficulties or not, or he's there or he's not.

Is he there? Is it Scott Budman from NBC Bay Area to report on this consumer electronic show? Good morning, Scott. Oh, he's there.

Hooray.

Yes. Scott is there.

Could you hear us that whole time?

I could.

I was saying, hey, I'm here, I'm here, and I, uh... There's some going on, I don't know how I work the key.

Look, I'm learning things.

I'm going to...

The magic of radio.

I'm going to find out how the cue speaker works in here. on it, but it turns out now. Now that I know you're there, let me try this again. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome in Scott Budman from NBC Bay Area.

He usually is the tech guy and the consumer electronic show, I believe, is on day two, Scott. Is that right?

It is absolutely right. We're just about to start day two. Okay. And we're already seeing all the crazy technology that

will ideally be on your face, in your living room, in your car in like five to ten years. And it's

always fascinating. Like 70, 80 percent of it just, we never see it again. But every once in a while

something comes out of this and it's like, oh yeah, this is now the scale of the future or the robot vacuum cleaner or our weird car.

And we're seeing a lot of that this year. It's really interesting to know people, after all this talk of inflation, still think, hey, we want to spend money on tech. And I love it. It just means people are still starting these companies and

still spending money and still using creativity and coming up with these crazy bizarre gadgets that

someday will use. Maybe. So one of the things, and I look forward to you telling us some of that stuff,

one of the things I saw, which I use a wireless keyboard right here in studio, and you've got to charge that thing.

Yes.

Or it will go out on you.
