Rob and Mark unpick Unpacked, moan about M2 and consider a charity clown nose.

Errata: Rob repeatedly refers to his S22 Ultra as an S21 Ultra because he is an idiot. (and only had three hours sleep)

The show starts (again!) with some sad news... but moves on to Rob and Mark's thoughts on CES, 2023 tech predictions, and Mark's multiple projects and travels.

It's the final show of the year! This means it's time to look back at the best, the most expensive, the cheapest, and the worst pieces of tech Rob and Mark got their hands on in 2022.

After a disastrous 30-minute recording, Rob and Mark decide to start again and conduct a 'quick' episode of Eight or Sixteen. As you might guess, that didn't happen.

In what is, arguably, the most random episode of Eight or Sixteen ever, Rob and Mark talk about everything from Trypophobia to Mark's new studio plans, Brian Eno, the Roland RD-700 digital piano, Microsoft 365, weird iPads, and Mark's camera-death-defying studio antics. Enjoy.
