Two Blokes Talking Tech

With Ted Lasso Spoilers - be warned

Oh, this one is available on YouTube too. Recorded live in the Apple Podcast studio at WWDC, Stephen and Trevor run through all the news from Apple's WWDC Keynote. Updates to iOS coming later this year are interesting but incremental, while the new Macs are a big deal. New MacBook pro size, new Mac Studio and Mac Pro. Plus, the stunning Apple Vision Pro.

The final chapter in my EV story – I’ve turned my back on Tesla, the App Store breaks the trillion dollar mark in 2022, the bargain large-screen TV you can buy at Aldi, we take a look at the new Motorola Razr 40 Ultra folding smartphone, BlueAnt launches a monster Bluetooth speaker, Uniden is giving away solar panels with its wireless security cameras and we’ll answer all your questions in the Tech Guide Help Desk.

Origin talk

Robert De Niro is flawless as a mercenary hired among a group of mysterious operatives with the task of stealing a breifcase. What's in it, and who needs it are among many questions asked. Plenty of suspense in this John Frankenheimer film, with a cast featuring De Niro, Jean Reno, Natascha McElhone, Stellan Skarsgård and more. Plus, some epic and even controversial car-chase scenes. With your Fetch plugged into a Hisense TV - enjoy Ronin.

The Two Blokes are just days away from heading to the USA for Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference and the hot topic is Virtual or Mixed Reality. So, what will happen, will it happen, or will nothing happen. Conjecture for the win. Sony's new 2023 TV range, the blokes are watching Origin on it tonight JBL's impressive Tour Pro 2 headphones pack a punch, feature rich, great performance and a party trick. And International Roaming - how things have changed.

The dramas have already started with the Netflix password sharing crackdown, Samsung launches a new digital key to unlock and start your car with a Galaxy smartphone, Sony has unveiled a new portable gaming device, we take a look at the JBL Tour Pro 2 earphones which have a smart case with a built-in display, ASUS has unveiled its OLED laptop range, the BackBone One PlayStation edition is finally available for Android users and we’ll answer all your questions in the Tech Guide Help Desk.

Based on the 1895 H. G. Wells book by the same name, this movie was made in 1960 and while that means some potentially cringey special effects, the story line overpowers any of that. Stephen knows it and loves it, but Trev's never seen it - and being so old - what will he think? Starring Aussie Rod Taylor, it's directed by George Pal and is set in 1899 and beyond. Better than Back to the Future? Not even worth a discussion.

Just the usual gibber

We knew it was coming, but it's finally here. After launching in Canada and New Zealand in February the Netflix crackdown on account sharing is now active in Australia with Aussies upset they can no longer share their passwords with mates or family members. Stephen's not happy. Dyson has a new Vacuum and it's a robot for the first time in Australia - Stephen and Trevor unpack what's new, interesting, outstanding and missing from the Dyson 360 Vis Nav. Trev's got the iPhone 15 dummy models and we can reveal what's new and changing about the upcoming device - if the dummies are to be believed (The phones, not Stephen and Trevor) Telstra's cracking down on scams with your help, and just what's good about Android vs iPhone and vice versa.

I'm back after a world of drama last week - more on that, and the plan for the next few weeks on today's show. Plus your calls on everything from TV to Baseball and F1 - not a sports podcast, but it ticks my boxes! And Clive Dickens from Optus covers off how SubHub is going and how the future will need that kind of technology

I’m catching up with the Rabbitohs at their new performance centre with an EV from their sponsors MG Motor, Amazon has released new Echo speakers for your home and your car, Optus has released an AI-powered feature that can add a lot of fun to your calls, we take a look at the Netgear Orbi 860 Series mesh wifi system, ASUS has unveiled its new portable gaming system, Canon has released a new camera for vloggers and we’ll answer all your questions in the Tech Guide Help Desk.

An insiders look at Wall Street focussing on the aspirations of a young Bud Fox played by Charlie Sheen. His desire to land the "Elephant" could make or break him. Michael Douglas stars in a cracking cast including Daryl Hannah and Martin Sheen, and it's all directed and co-written by Oliver Stone. We fire up the Fetch box on our Hisense TV and re-watch or for some watch for the first time this cracker 1987 Drama.

Probably not.

Stephen's not happy with Elon - we'll get to that in part. But Apple is back with lots of news. From Satellite SOS calls to Voice emulators and Small Business payment systems it's all happening. Telstra's prices go up, should they be reaching out to customers who are paying too much? ROG's portable Windows gaming PC and yes, the Tesla woes.

Tesla has cancelled the new Model S EV for Australian customers – and we’re not happy, Emergency SOS via satellite is now active in Australia and New Zealand, Segway-Ninebot has launched its new line up of electric scooters, we take a look at the Google Pixel 7a smartphone, Navman launches a new dash cam that blends into your car, Belkin's new BoostCharge Magnetic Power Bank can keep you powered on the move and we’ll answer all your questions in the Tech Guide Help Desk.

We're confident this is a new one for most people. Stephen has watched Identity before, and loves it, so takes this chance to introduce Trevor to it for the very first time. So if it's your first watch, or not - flick it on Fetch on your Hisense TV and enjoy a walk through unpacking the movie. Starring John Cusack, Ray Liotta and many more including Rebecca De Mornay, it's not what it first appears, and has a very different story arc approach. Enjoy it with us.

And Trev's sneaky Airport trick

Google held their annual IO event, talking about whats new, whats exiting and launching new products. A full wrap of what's new, a test of their AI and a look at their affordable smartphone, but also a confirmation of a Pixel Fold but disappointment for Aussies. Ford and MG have EV news, with Pricing on the Mach-E and MG4. Trev's not to keen on how Ford have positioned themselves, but the MG has an impressive entry price. Both Blokes very impressed with Samsung's mid-range Galaxy A54 after solid testing it begs the question - why spend more? And Apple brings Pro apps to iPads.

Trev's back from a couple of weeks away, firstly observing Anzac Day, and then travelling last week to Seattle with Amazon. Your calls this week on buying advice and Fetch Feedback. Plus a chat with some senior Amazon Executives, Dave Limp and Daniel Rausch about the world of Amazon, Devices and Entertainment - fascinating stuff!
