Today’s episode is a grab bag of goodness—updates, unboxings, tech tales, sales news, and even a sprinkle of story time. Settle in and enjoy the ride!

We kicked off an impromptu autumn celebration with 17% off most products now through Friday, October 3. It’s the perfect moment to snag something you’ve had your eye on — including our latest offering, Audible Adventures. This is our best deal until Black Friday, so don’t miss it!

iOS 26 has landed, and Kim has quite the hair-raising story about updating her device. Don’t worry — it ends well! Tune in for lessons learned and things you might want to watch out for before you tap “Install Now.”

Kim also dives into the AirPods Pro 3 experience with an unboxing clip and first impressions. Stick around toward the end of the episode to hear the unexpected decision she made about keeping them… or not.

While we’re on the topic of earbuds, Chris picked up new ear tips for his AirPods Pro 2. He also scored a bonus accessory in the box that he thinks every earbud owner needs. He’ll tell you what it is and why it’s awesome a bit later in the show.

We’ve refreshed the layout of MysticAccessDownloads.com! Chris walks you through the updated site and gives you the lay of the land. You can explore the new design right now.

Remember our chat last episode about the Amazon smart oven ghosting voice commands? Turns out… it fixed itself! We share what happened and thank everyone who chimed in with your own experiences and ideas.

There are extra tidbits and tales sprinkled throughout this episode, but we’ll let you discover those on your own.

Thanks so much for listening—we’re grateful you’re here and hope you find something fun, helpful, or just plain entertaining in this week’s mix!
