WEBVTT 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.200 So I got completely dismantled the other day 00:00:02.200 --> 00:00:05.760 because I thought that even though there's so many ways 00:00:05.760 --> 00:00:08.780 to watch TV these days, from Hulu to HBO Now 00:00:08.780 --> 00:00:12.480 to like soon there's gonna be a Disney one for kids. 00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:15.280 And even though most of these are about 10 bucks a month, 00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:18.440 I still figured that most people 00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:22.920 would probably only really use like one or two of them. 00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.800 Netflix and YouTube, Prime Video and Showtime 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:27.960 or Plex and maybe some kind of thing 00:00:27.960 --> 00:00:30.060 that's useful for watching sports. 00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:33.140 But then I found out that there are a lot of people out there 00:00:33.140 --> 00:00:35.400 who use way more than that. 00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:39.280 Like even our cameraman Dave who pays for Netflix, 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:44.670 Amazon Prime, Crave and YouTube Premium. 00:00:44.670 --> 00:00:46.530 And those are just apps. 00:00:46.530 --> 00:00:48.810 These days even the hardware 00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:50.670 is starting to get original series 00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:53.720 like Apple TV's Carpool Karaoke. 00:00:53.720 --> 00:00:58.720 Now the problem is that as these services get more unique 00:00:58.720 --> 00:01:01.100 and non-overlapping content, 00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.180 it starts to get hard to remember 00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:06.140 not only which service has what shows, 00:01:06.140 --> 00:01:09.540 but even just to find the content that you wanna watch. 00:01:09.540 --> 00:01:14.600 Well, enter the sponsor of today's showcase, Kavo. 00:01:14.600 --> 00:01:17.600 The Kavo Control Center is one device 00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:19.760 that can manage all of your content. 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.580 And one extra bonus is that you cannot lose the remote. 00:01:24.580 --> 00:01:35.070 They're intrigued, I can tell. 00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:37.330 Allow me to demonstrate the core value proposition 00:01:37.330 --> 00:01:39.810 of the Kavo Control Center. 00:01:39.810 --> 00:01:42.600 Watch the man in the high castle. 00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:45.850 And boom, it brings it up. 00:01:45.850 --> 00:01:47.570 You can see in the fine print there 00:01:47.570 --> 00:01:50.790 that it's prompting us to watch on Amazon Prime. 00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:53.510 But that show is an Amazon original series. 00:01:53.510 --> 00:01:57.520 So what about a show that's available on multiple services? 00:01:57.520 --> 00:02:02.080 Watch Friends season four, episode seven. 00:02:02.080 --> 00:02:04.600 Don't critique my taste. 00:02:04.600 --> 00:02:06.200 Now, first of all, 00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.040 being able to search episode by episode is pretty awesome 00:02:09.040 --> 00:02:10.360 because you can't do that yet 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:12.420 with your Google Home, so that's a bonus. 00:02:12.420 --> 00:02:15.860 And if I click on it, it actually gives me the option 00:02:15.860 --> 00:02:19.760 of watching on any one of my three installed platforms here. 00:02:19.760 --> 00:02:22.570 Boop, neat, right? 00:02:22.570 --> 00:02:25.510 Now, a lot of you are probably thinking by this point, 00:02:25.510 --> 00:02:28.810 yeah, I don't really have any trouble remembering 00:02:28.810 --> 00:02:31.670 which media service my various content is on. 00:02:31.670 --> 00:02:34.850 But to me, the big selling point here 00:02:34.850 --> 00:02:37.650 is the wife and kids factor. 00:02:37.650 --> 00:02:41.150 So it's a hundred bucks upfront, and then $2 a month. 00:02:41.190 --> 00:02:42.430 For the service. 00:02:42.430 --> 00:02:44.610 But it makes it much less likely 00:02:44.610 --> 00:02:47.430 that you'll have to run over and open a show for someone 00:02:47.430 --> 00:02:49.990 when you're in the middle of making dinner or whatever. 00:02:49.990 --> 00:02:51.990 Now, of course, when you have so much content 00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:53.090 at your fingertips, 00:02:53.090 --> 00:02:55.370 targeted searching isn't your only problem. 00:02:55.370 --> 00:02:57.770 You also have to decide what to watch in the first place, 00:02:57.770 --> 00:03:02.010 which in my house is definitely like a key part 00:03:02.010 --> 00:03:02.950 of movie night. 00:03:02.950 --> 00:03:05.010 Like there's like half of it is figuring out 00:03:05.010 --> 00:03:05.850 what movie to watch, 00:03:05.850 --> 00:03:07.950 and the other half is actually watching half of the movie 00:03:07.950 --> 00:03:09.210 because then it's time to put the kids to bed. 00:03:09.210 --> 00:03:11.110 Anyway, that's neither here nor there. 00:03:11.250 --> 00:03:15.310 And that's why Kaavo has this dashboard 00:03:15.310 --> 00:03:17.870 of curated lists that are made by editors, 00:03:17.870 --> 00:03:20.690 taste makers, and other Kaavo users. 00:03:20.690 --> 00:03:23.430 Kind of like how you can share playlists on Spotify, 00:03:23.430 --> 00:03:26.590 except you can make your list out of any combination 00:03:26.590 --> 00:03:28.950 of TV shows, movies, live TV. 00:03:28.950 --> 00:03:31.270 It doesn't matter where the content comes from 00:03:31.270 --> 00:03:32.490 or what it is. 00:03:32.490 --> 00:03:34.550 And then you can either keep your lists private 00:03:34.550 --> 00:03:36.170 or you can share them with the community 00:03:36.170 --> 00:03:40.570 and be like an influencer or something. 00:03:40.570 --> 00:03:41.870 Now at the core of all this functionality 00:03:41.870 --> 00:03:44.850 is that little box. 00:03:44.850 --> 00:03:45.690 You know what?
