00:00 Apple has some new competition.
00:02 China's Huawei Technologies has Chinese tech fans excited
00:07 amid the release of their fast-charging 5G foldable phones.
00:12 The move comes ahead of Apple's upcoming launch event
00:15 and follows Beijing's recent move
00:18 to ban the use of iPhones at some government offices.
00:21 But China's Apple rival is now raising doubts
00:25 as to how well U.S. export control actually are.
00:29 Until now, these restrictions have crippled Huawei's business
00:33 and their ability to acquire high-tech parts
00:36 like chips and advanced processors.
00:38 Brian, what do we think about Huawei?
00:40 Huawei's been allegedly spying on the U.S.
00:43 by pumping their phones into us,
00:45 so I think rightfully so, they kind of put the kibosh
00:47 on that, and honestly, Samsung has had
00:48 these foldable phones for a while.
00:50 They're wild, they're very interesting,
00:51 but we gotta be very careful of Huawei around here.
00:54 I mean, getting into the telco system.
00:55 Oh, I mean, they're called Huawei.
00:57 We change the spelling to like W-A-W-A-Y,
01:00 that could be a gas station.
01:02 We could Americanize it, but Huawei?
01:04 Uh-uh, uh-uh.
01:05 Speaking of gas stations, did you see that
01:07 the infamous Come and Go train out in Colorado
01:10 in the West is no longer--
01:12 Train or chain?
01:13 The chain, the chain.
01:14 Oh, I thought you were saying, sorry.
01:14 No, Come and Go, K-U-M and Go.
01:17 Yeah, it's a whole thing.
01:18 It's no more?
01:18 I have a big shirt while they're--
01:19 Should we buy an IP?
01:20 Let's sniff into it, that's it.
01:21 We should keep it going.
01:22 We gotta keep the train alive.
01:23 Come and go, baby.
01:24 (upbeat music)
