good it feels good I like you know just being away sorry not as fun I have I hate talking by myself too it's just I know there's never a shows never is good when you talk by your side now just get that out of the way hard it is hard you need two voices alright let's jump into it the story that kind of shook the Apple world up this week comes from The Wall Street Journal people might have gotten a little head of themselves but the Wall Street Journal basically posted an article titled apple's next iphone will have a curved screen now we know this we know already in advance that they've pre ordered 160 million OLED screens components in advance of what we believe is the apples 10th anniversary iphone according to the report Apple has been used ours planning to use these OLED screens for a curved edge phone quite honestly much like we've seen from Samsung already right in the s7 and the upcoming s8 phone which if you look up has been completely leaked by boy genius report but then as you continue to go down the line you know they talk about one at least one of the phones we're expecting three different iphones and one of them will be the 10th anniversary will have this curved edge front using an oled display potential wireless charging blah blah blah lots lots of things going on with that but little deeper into the article they drop this line I'm going to read it for you they said that apple would induce introduce other updates including a USBC port for the power cord and other peripherals instead of the company's original lightning connector okay hmm now instantly the internet set on fire and everyone was writing apples dickey lightning Apple getting rid of the Lightning port Apple going with USB see what is going on ah ah Apple screwing us again with a new port okay slowly roll like right when I read this article and people were like hitting me up my boy Gil Cabrera guilty okay GC GC he's like dude if they switch the USBC I'm gonna go crazy and I don't like okay let me let me look at this article the article doesn't outright say they're switching to lightning they say updates include a USBC port for the power cord and other peripherals now one thing that you might not all know is the ipad pro my favorite apple jads do you want to throw up already no no I talk about all the time I read comics right on time you need the ipad pro for the comics okay one of the options for the ipad pro is too by actually a 29 watt power adapter that connects one of the connector ins is USBC because that provides more juice to the ipad pro the ipad pros lightning connector n supports that higher that higher wattage that it can charge it so why so first of all Apple included a 12 watt power adapter which sucks it takes the ipad pro like literally I'm gonna argue six or seven hours to charge up oh yeah it grew a long time long asked I us this is a pro to this is my big boy so I'm like I'm gonna buy this USBC power adapter to see what all the fuss is about that thing charges literally two and a half times faster I think I get up to like eighty percent in maybe like an hour and hour and a half that's like ridiculous about an hour and a half lit so it's an adapter it's just a power adapter okay it's still hot you still connect to your iPad pro with the lightning but the other end is USBC nice and the actual power adapter supports a higher wattage that then goes into the ipad pro and it because right now our phones are only a 12 can support 12 watt power adapter yeah yeah so right not as much to use going in charge it slower hmm so i think that this is exactly what they're doing except it'll be for the new iphone it will support a USBC port based power adapter 29 wats unlike what the current phones do not remove the Lightning port don't get ahead of yourself work over a second I was like wait are they putting a second port on them now no that's not going to happen I mean Apple there's a lot of crazy stuff now but that's what I think it is I would also like to ahead of time thank apple for making me by the faster power adapter which arguably they should just put it in there the power adapter costs 49 bucks and the cable is like another nineteen or twenty five bucks that's mucci so that's expense I spent seventy five dollars just a power my ipad pro faster come on brah that's great come on Apple I I mean it is needed though like my ipad 3rd generation that are like a rock out like forever like I just overnight all charges yeah it's like a whole it's a long time yeah there's no quick charging where you can even plug it in for like 10 minutes and get like twenty percent use there's nothing like that on the iPads so that's what I think they're going to be bringing to this new iphone 8 I just want to calm everyone's nerves even after that report came out and the internet was set on fire and everyone's like us bc us bc uppal going us bc KGI analyst ming-chi kuo John Gruber from daring fireball blog they also are in a line with btz and the Apple buy extra crunchy podcast with beach and tong they're there they're on there on team just a USBC port for the power adapter so this is kind of this story is supporting the what we talked about last week the bigger battery so it's just a move by Apple like we're going to put a bigger battery in the phone so now we got to charge a faster I hope so yeah that would make sense totally I mean if you're in product development like Stephen Beecham appears to be just now I am that product development for Apple and most secret spy inside cnet well you know that actually could be true because two floors of our office you actually belong to Apple we just can't access them I'm on their payroll now no I'm just kidding I try to climb through the ventilation it didn't work yeah it did locked it up man they they're cut all cables going into that floor they just caught them you're like oh this is your of sillas drive or you're right Great God they cut it out they cut our fiber basically all of our fiber slightly rewire a building uh like what's up with that I'll just look like a wire cutter so I don't be like that come on guys I would do so who would do such that Apple that that is absolutely a bad apple alright moving on Tim Cook recently had his a / Apple shareholders meeting I said a / app / APRA shareholders meeting now here's the thing shareholders are basically a bunch of old dudes with a lot of money yes I didn't want to have a steak and apple and they're like yeah I meaning they're making more money I'm going to make us more money time now 11 of the they also vote on a variety of initiatives so the board of directors are there they vote on new initiatives for the company I'm not going to make a big brouhaha about this because I know the majority of shareholders are from one specific ethnic group but there was a there was an ishit of to basically increase the diversity on the Apple board of directors oh really and the shareholders the large amount of shareholders had an opportunity if you own any stock in them had an opportunity to vote for it only six percent of those shareholders said yeah we should diversify we should make apples board directors more diverse like make an effort so it got completely shut down so congrats all the little white tea to login it down they're like yeah we got to our apples are Apple stock is fine the way it is yeah let's just keep it down we're sitting on a boatload of cash amor in some island off off the app you know outside the united states like no one screws at all brian continue to buy our products just keep buying a brian you taught to keep talking positively about them beat them you buy them too so i do those are some of those initiatives also just kind of financial stuff it's a lot of that but the highlight of these meetings is that shareholders get to ask him cook direct questions now they may they're not always the smartest questions i'm going to throw it out there like for example this is on the record one of the shareholders directly asked tim or told him that you know I think that we should build a could you build a super smart dumb phone in a round design yeah yeah like I saw like a circle maker clear like regular phone I think a circle and Tim Cook replied in quotes not sure we're going to create a round phone yeah yeah buddy the easy way of letting him down this is this is what was the type of people were talking about yes I heard that one of them also complained about how his phone got brick from an update and then Tim Cook was like doing tech he was doing like I t work like trying to fix this guy's phone in the meeting that happened right yeah this is shareholders or just rich people with wrist problems but let's be real about that now there are some cool interesting kind of nuggets that you always pull out from some of the from you know from the shareholder meetings one of them was the cooks comments about the air pods yes so Cook says that they're trying to build as many air pause as fast as they can for those of you that are trying to still hunt them down they're still pretty hard to get sometimes you can walk into a store and they might have a few around twelve o'clock when they get their shipment most the time they don't so let's be honest they're still backordered it's what now six months since they announced it oh man and they're still not readily available there any others delay and they're still not readily available Tim Cook called the wireless earbuds from Apple quite the cultural phenomenon yeah that's very questionable that's a very questionable quote hahahaha for me oh well here's the thing let's let's keep it real Tim okay I I like to talk about some examples of maybe we could use in comparison as cultural phenomenon cultural phenomenon would be like Pokemon thank you that was the first example i came up with you the show like everyone was doing that that's yeah how about Hillary Clinton was talking about it when she was running a president how about let's go let's let's turn the clock a little bit what about the Macarena Macarena that was a cultural phenomenon that was you yes so when I earpods no I don't see people going nuts like making memes like posting stuff posting you know all their own I just don't see it we're we're here in the Bay Area in the heart of Silicon Valley I don't even see I would say let's be even generous one out of a hundred people don't even have an air pods that they're walking walking around wearing not even I mean I see maybe like one person every couple days that's what I'm saying lucky you know so let's not get ahead of ourselves to me no cultural phenomenon salt bay salt bay is a bigger yeah yeah this is sprinkle sprinkle roll safe roll safe yeah i mean there's there's so many more you could think of it it's just so you know that's that's a little silly when you start drinking a little bit of that kool-aid that's that's all I'm gonna say Tim Cook was also asked directly about apples focus on you know basically someone called him out and said aren't you focusing on consumer the consumer space more than the pro space and let me see if I can let me see if I can find this oh here we go so in response to that cook said that apple will do more in the Pro area he also called out the creative field especially as especially important to Apple but then here's his quote and I like this is kind of one of those quotes that you have to like to think about for a second all right don't this is what Cook said don't think that something we've done or something we're doing that isn't visible yet is a signal that our priorities are elsewhere but so he's facing yeah if you haven't seen it doesn't mean that we're not working on it but I would need to art exhibit a the mac pro still have not seen an update in three years and two months oh wow that's that's a pro machine yeah that would tell me that you guys might not be talking about look like your priorities aren't there so maybe they'll shut me up in there rumored March event I don't even know if there's really going to be a March event because it seems like the iPads are going to get pushed out but we might still see at least a March event for iPads and and maybe some other stuff we'll see but they need to get on that there's also other other shareholders asked him code directly about the prospects of seeing an iPad separate from a mac and this kind of really made me feel like the sinking feeling in my heart Cook said he doesn't like talking about future products but he reiterated that he sees them as separate so the mac and the iPad at separate he later on expanded and said that we're going to do the ipad that you see now we'll be able to do a lot more but he still feels the mac is a more feature-rich product and that just clearly tells you that all of you dreamers including me that we're hoping that maybe one day Apple would create some sort of a hybrid operating system so that the ipad pro kit at least do maybe a few things that the surface pro could do but in their apple way it's just not going to happen yeah there's still like a big disconnect between my phone and my computer you know like i wish that there was some marriage there but it just does not happening good luck ask but good luck even your you're an apple customer who is there's a lot of many it's like little tiny things they're like piecemealing to us you know but it would be cool if I you know hop on one thing and everything's the same on the other you know what happened to the big like you know apples like boom here's the hammer this is what you want and it was like hell yeah we haven't seen that a long time oh no maybe they're just seeing success with having different you know different things I don't know their carry their carrying their father basically creating yeah yeah multiple versions of a phone with slightly better upgrades and they're quite honestly actually making more money from it don't so the market isn't telling them that they're doing anything wrong when it comes down to the dollars they're doing everything right should we

Apple watch news the Apple watches record-breaking cord this is according to IDC data that pretty much covers kind of the market and sales receipts both online and at brick-and-mortar according to this report Apple watch series one and two have become a magnificant magnificent success recording their best-ever quarter in the wearables market according to IDC apple shipped an estimated 4.6 million Apple watch units in the fourth quarter of 2016 that's up from 4.1 a year ago also it shares the wearables market include and this also includes like all basic fitness trackers the Apple watches bundles in that they took an estimated thirteen point six percent of that market share a little down from the 14.1 a year ago also though Fitbit experienced one of its largest declines ever in the fourth quarter Fitbit shipped 6.5 million trackers in the quarter down from 8.4 million in the year-ago so it was a record-breaking quarter for Apple but overall the market not so hot but apples really been pushing to this like a fitness device lately yeah is that I think people might have already just all bought their fitness devices and there they kind of all these things last well I mean yeah I'm see this was actually look out look at how silly because I'm wearing both I'm rocking with my Apple watch's visit today because I wanted to some people like hating on me they're like why do you wear two watches or why do you wear if it'd been a novel watch because I can that's because I'm Brian calm yeah so your Apple watch can contract your steps to it does but I actually I do feel that the Fitbit tracks them much more accurately okay I even did things like I would go on hikes and basically take the distance that the hike says you know I guess if you trust the internet right I'd look at how long is this actual hike you know for miles yeah and the Fitbit every time tracked it more accurately even in rough steps consistently when I do multiple times like there's um there's a why can't I remember off the top of my head I feel so stupid I do a few hikes like pillbox in Hawaii a couple others and I just did it just to see how accurate it was and I didn't feel that the fifth it was more accurate that's cool in at least one is tracking your steps nice so there you go ok as we continue to roll on through the show Apple has 1000 engineers working on AR augmented reality and may debut it in the iphone 8 this is according to Business Insider a whole slew of people now 1,000 doesn't mean everyone is doing like all these crazy you know putting all these traces crazy pieces of puzzle but we could see it as early as the next iPhone that we've been talking a lot about the different 3d depth sensors that are expected to be used in the iphone how it could possibly drive up the cost even with the fact that the home button on the new iphone at least the premium oled screen version appears to be embedded under the screen which means touch ID might at least temporarily go away to certain degree or you'll use space unlocking to unlock your phone faster I love to try to you though I do too so helpful I do too I'm used to it right now yeah we're all used to it so hopefully they don't get rid of it I I mean it would be interesting to see how I feel like all you know everyone's throwing every feature that the kitchen has at the new iphone premonition yeah not I don't think all of its going to be in it but if it is then everyone's going to buy one probably like if this is I don't see other how much better a phone might get after this generation yeah like it's already slowed down but there's a point now at least for an apple foam because we've seen these features and other phones you know if it's really almost a completely buttonless phone and then the reaction time of this face recognition or you know touch ID might live in some some way shape or form like you have to touch in a certain area yeah and it'll still detect your fingerprint but all that stuff wireless charging blah blah blah it could be like okay this is the phone now this is the phone now I mean we know we know other phones have some of these technologies but maybe this is this is the one that does it because no matter what you say whenever Apple releases a new redesign like a different-looking phone everyone wants it Oh totally likely that iphone 4 came out everyone like I need that it looked so cool and it was it was the cool to me was my favorite design it was cool yeah it was my favorite design so uh augmented reality been thrown around a lot Apple's been talking away too much about it so it's like not exciting anymore you know Tim Cook's like just so what you know we love augmented reality really so do we Tim yeah so do we all right Apple makes me sad here trailing in the TV streaming service category youtube or google officially launched and announced youtube TV what will it be it'll be a $35 per month live TV streaming service it will carry the big four networks that's ABC CBS NBC and fox golf channel's on there i'm probably going to get it you know who's the parent company of golf channel and bc baby it'll be on it I most likely be it'll most likely be on if you like pause there's a video that shows all the channels you might be able to catch it I don't know you can look for it well you can look yeah it's right there you can look for it while I keep on talking about this SMS NBC sports network yep it's that's where it'll be that's probably where I know you oh here we go golf right there Shakalaka all right thank you so the for all you table lovers though there really only going to include cable channels that are related to the big floor networks and what does that mean that means cable networks or families of channels like Viacom which is vh1 MTV and Comedy Central like Time Warner which is TNT and TBS or a station like AMC that our cable exclusive they will not be part of the package that's so you really have to like all these plans you really have to figure out what does it have and if it works for you but again Apple does not have a live TV streaming service YouTube does sony playstation does AT&T DirecTV now does and sling TV does yes they have some form of package my favorite still right now is the PlayStation view although it doesn't have Viacom anymore I don't want mtv I don't watch vh1 I could nobody does anymore I I don't make enough time to watch Comedy Central quite honestly I don't watch companies generally more either way neither do i they just kind of fizzled yeah I mean so I'm telling you PlayStation view is is where it's at at least for me and I think that for a lot of people you'd be like that usually like yeah PlayStation views the jam so there you go youtube it'll be launching in a couple months they expect it really most of their users to be streaming TV to a mobile device so it's going to be a standalone app it won't be like embedded into anything and then will also be available for television sets a laptop as well as google chromecast and one of the things that is coming soon is you'll be able to talk to your google home and say watch this is us have you seen that show now that is an emotional i don't know anything about it that is an emotional roller coaster like what's it about what do you rhian is it's a dynamic of these people that are related that have their own issues that are still trying to find themselves that are forming it's it's just deep though it's not like some like it's this is us it should be call like this is crear like this I mean I don't know I I got pretty teary-eyed in multiple episodes really no i watch stuff to make me cry I avoid it but a bit off your movies I'm like no but it's like heartfelt in a good way and in a bad way okay people that are listening during me like yeah they're like this is us damn that show got me I've been watching the new BBC the world what does it no no planet or in a day planner pretty awesome oh my gosh yeah I want to that'd be on youtube streaming people don't know I brought BBC America probably not as people that are listening overseas before we continue as we competed talk about all the shows we like BBC america got the planet or two series like basically two or three months after be be seated oh holy BBC's like oh whatever like I saw that long ago i'm just like dude like remember that snake baby iguana chase oh yes oh my gosh ah so they first showed it on the on the web like on a mini clip but they have a full extended version on the actual program something and it's like I don't know those people are geniuses I would love to just like sit with the crew and just watch them go to town I know right yeah amazing yeah I mean they build like technology to film this stuff like they don't just buy a special camera they like build a special rig and pretty amazing or they're just walking around with their iphones on us yeah oh my gosh there's a butterfly yo yo get that get that snakes attacking in iguana all right I just a couple highlights before we wrap up before we wrap up the stories and get to the news Facebook officially releases a new video app for the 14 Apple TV only for the 4th gen apple TV we know that Facebook is trying to push hard into video and then a fun one the Nintendo switch is coming out this week many of you are either waiting in the store for I don't know why you should have just pre-ordered the damn thing or and then return it or sold it if you didn't want it or people that have pre orders coming on friday but here's a fun story so the switch and the macbook pro and even the macbook have USB see ya so this guy on twitter mike murphy decided to be like Oh what happens if i connect the two right if you connect the 2 x USB see in fact the nintendo switch actually charges the macbook pro that's a fine it acts as a secondary battery weird like how does that happen even honestly I didn't let's be honest you guys can educate us I didn't look it up like what did what determines the direction of the charge yeah or is you know what takes priority or does it have to do with the order that you plugged it in so it's the switch supposed to be able to work with like a power brick like if you're on the go when you dock it you when you dock it it has a USBC connector okay so it has it's a little dock with hdmi and stuff yeah what else has a USBC connector it's forward-thinking it's pretty cool so that it that is crazy yeah I do want to switch I definitely well I'm a Nintendo collector so I have every Nintendo friend on periscope faded away says the macbook charges the switch if the switch is turned off ha Oh again Oh interesting change very interest I have to do it how to dude that's gonna be like yeah when you're watching me like this is stupid alright so you get some calls yeah let's do some calls calls for y'all that's why I remember if you guys want to be a guys and gals want to be a part of the show 1 800

be really cool to see all them implement some kind of slide deck maybe I'm almost to convert a podcast to almost like a webinar so that people can kind of see and have some kind of visual content that they can look at are there listening to the podcast another feature I would love to see would be an option to go live that would be amazing you know you just get a push notification your favorite podcast is going live Apple by extra crunchy and then boom let people just pull up up open the podcast app and you're right there that would be sweet anyway take care of guys thank you love that we

throwing up clips and web pages like there's learning ones like having to source ly feature I like all of that yeah like ted talks is one of the number one podcast so that can definitely my man you have been hired by the apple byte extra crunchy I don't know what for but you have great idea you know I deal with ice creams a lot actually like with our podcasts and they're so everything on the iTunes platform is so bare bones like they don't want to do any work yeah you know they just want people to put their podcast up and have it work that's all they want to do and that's kind of how I don't wanna start writing like a hobby honestly like jobs like there's this podcast thing and he clearly believed it because he liked to talk about but like he said they're kind of a little more hands-off with it right very hands-off like it's difficult to get them to do any work for you if you want something fixed you know and like a lot of times I go back and forth like trying to explain to them what I want fixed but uh yeah I don't see them ever doing anything like like what you'd recommend like unless they really get into it they figure out a way to monetize but I don't see anything we had a happening even though it would be awesome I would be awesome and just a quick thing for people watching us live on periscope they can't hear the calls we are working on that hopefully we'll get something soon well we're going to be back in our studio the end of this month oh that's right March 24th I'm gonna be here that weekend night a week so when we have full capabilities again it'll feel like Brandi though it's gonna feel like Brandi right we've been doing this like basically putting together what we have but it's so much more fully fleshed out there yeah this shows held together with rubber bands right now okay next call hello this is divorcing Charlotte just have a question do you think the 5k imac is going to replace the mac pro is the official workstation for professionals who prefer apple products just wanted to hear your opinions thanks give or I think it comes down the professional quite honestly like there you're the you know I think we all choose what is our pro machine the imax and the MacBook Pros have more than enough power to be pro machines so I don't think there's ever should be a distinction like this is the de facto pro machine look even the mac pro which hasn't been updated for three years at the time what's a machine that some pros chose to use and some still said I'm just going to get a beefed-up macbook pro yeah so it comes down the user for me I mean for me I have both I have an imac on my desk and i have a mac pro laptop definitely want to edit on my imac they were my mom screen I mean I do add it on my macbook but it just takes a long long time to you know it's hard to get two buttons and in a hot keys and stuff and then just exporting takes forever so I Mac power big screen beautiful screen yeah this is so much easier okay next call hey guys it's matt calling from ontario i'm looking at taking the dive and buying a 15-inch macbook pro I'm just wondering would it be worth waiting for the new refresh I'd love to hear your thoughts love the show he's about to dive in so Who am about to dive in Trey Songz baby um look I think you should wait you're at a point in time where the new macbook pros ask I'm gonna throw it out there because I still haven't heard from enough of you because that means also not enough of your buying this thing I don't know many people that have bought the new new Mac Pro and said they're totally in love with it yeah yeah I know a lot of people that are actually a little more frustrated over time that the touch bar just hasn't isn't really all that and I no plan and I'm not saying one guy I'm saying multiple people so what I would say for you is that you're probably going to most likely use your macbook pro the same way but wait for the faster process or wait for the larger ram support like wait for all these things that could make it more special and you would I'm sure you have a computer that you could deal with for the next six months I wouldn't buy one right now I would buy one right now even if the macbook pro stays exactly the same which it most likely will touch bar will get better those things will improve so at least you'll get a slightly better machine I don't know how much more function will be it's still going to be dongle town song sounds going to tell you the dongle town baby so it's it's going to be about the same but you're going to get a little more power in juice so why not just wait if you don't need it right now cool cool I'm waiting for a long time okay this message for brian Tata my name is sugar I'm so expensive in you and I was wondering i mentioned won an ipad i have a macbook an iphone but what's the best ipad to get shall wait for the new plane 17 ipads or get older model let me know what you think thank you both the show please let's hear your thoughts first man i would recommend an older model because they're cheap and they are going to work forever still and i'm going to be just fine let's say give you an example i did a little i did a little digging because people would ask me like oh how much do you love your ipad pro a lot especially comic book readers you can find a 12 point nine inch iPad pro refurbished on apple's website for 649 right now that's pretty good that's really than what about my daughter Jen and so I'm talking about so the ipad is that type of thing where you don't have to get the latest one now like really what's going to happen in the new ones it will be a new redesign it will they'll almost like to support faster USBC charging and all of them will have the true tone display the pencil will be improved a little bit but most people don't use the pencil I don't think this all those things you said I don't think it's worth it no seriously not at all yeah not I think the only thing that you might want to make sure you get is a true tone display ipad if you even want that there's a lot of artists that are like I don't want it to change color on me because it doesn't show my work as its intended to be if it's just the wipe you know the white now I make sense so you know maybe wait the new iPads are supposed to be announced sometime if it is true in March some of them might come and spring you wait 3-4 months and then the current iPads will be lower in price let's do that there's also all kinds of weird deals for like get a free iPad if you buy this you know there's all these weird deals all over that I see like even some of the phone carriers like if you buy that maybe I'm sure the iphone 8 get the iphone 8 to your agreement you get a free iPad Mini or you know stuff like that happens all the time so just to look out for that too I saw a deal up by an ipad pro get a free tinder account oh you're ready there you go dude you got to do that again go cool okay we got one more call one more calm it's 18 seconds thanks for being fast hello this is John from Minnesota and my question is with wireless charging does that mean that we will need to buy new imacs or you make movies that have the technology inside thank you so um see Jon Jon's been reading a lot now there were rumors and there's an actual apple patent out there that they were hoping to use long-range wireless charging and something like the base of the imac would actually be able to send out that connection or you know be able to charge wirelessly by outputting the transmitter in the base but that has not been confirmed yet that is not is not a fact yet all reports say that Apple is still trying to figure out this wireless charging thing and most likely at least in this first run of the Apple iPhone and it'll just be the standard wireless charging again depending on the model if it is a model's wireless charging where you just basically put it on some sort of a plate now of course if Apple wanted to go big and shock us it would be wireless charging for with range even 10 to 15 feet it was like something cool you just plugged into the wall and it just like sent out a signal and charge your stuff as you walk by even if it would be rad even if it fried my balls I might try that okay even if i get like lymphoma hahaha even if one of my balls is bigger than the other because of it i might still do it yeah I start growing a third ear or sometimes I serve all like another iphone you know in the third year I'm gonna say a third all time I might do that I learned all that beer at two three balls are better than than to radioactive babies you need you could be a juggler sure sure why not so back to your question we we probably if at the very least let's say let's just speculate and they do this long range wireless charging they'll create some sort of a station that will be an accessory but you won't have to buy an entire new imac for it but if you're rich and they do that sure yeah why not why not train we've seen trust me i worked at the apple store back in the day i saw plenty of dudes dropping down cash for things they didn't need as long as you told them it was the newest thing soy oh you know you wait for those guys to walk we do like oh this guy's walking would you like to 23 inch apple cinema displays with your imac god you're like you I better watch two
