To truly hear a podcast, you have to listen with your eyes closed. If you can, get it on vinyl. It's even better. Much like jazz, it's not the hot takes you hear, it's the ones you don't.

This week: on the lookout for the newest Pokemon CHAdeMO, shacking up at a Supercharger, and KPMG wins the bid for AFC Richmond's kit sponsorship. ⚽️.

We looked and can’t find the intersection of Liberal Arts and Technology anywhere. Someone said it was by the corner of Happy and Healthy, but there’s just a Walgreens here. Is this is an Apple Maps thing? It’s not in Daly City is it?

This week: Dora needs a map for this mountain of entertainment, the laziest word in the English language, and one of us took good notes during this week’s Apple Services keynote. 💸.

Vis a vis our plans to open the kimono ahead of our Q2 all hands, the ask here is that the biz. dev. team get their heads in the game if we truly want to be a 10X kind of organization. @channel

This week: Trader Joe’s acknowledges The Cider House Rules, Amazon Studios hopes to Die Another Day, and Apple didn’t spend all that money on Office Space for you folks to sit at home watching Ted Lasso during the Webex. 📎 .

We’re off this week, but we’ve got a cappuccino-sized episode for you anyhow.

Tax day is approaching and while you should have filed months ago, we got your back in case you’re just barely trying to log into TurboTax. Stay on the right side of Uncle Sam by keeping the following in mind:

1) You cannot claim your Roomba as a dependent.

This week: boozy cold brew, two new Spinny flavors by way of Still or Sparkling®, and we wonder what was the Matter with CHIP? 🥔.

The Pepsi challenge, but make it Bubly.

This week: Hamilton comes to Cupertino, putting iPad OS on a PIP, and a stroll down the freezer aisle at TJ's. 🍨.

You know, a phone company with the defacto podcast directory is a little like the mule with a spinning wheel. No one knows how he got it, and danged if he knows how to use it!

This week: Taylor Swift B-sides, ZIP disks, and a newly jacked Tim Apple continues flirting with antitrust regulators.

Just once, I want Michael Barbaro to break character and start The Daily with “Act One: a Texas high school’s challenge to reopen in the era of the coronavirus. From WBEZ in Chicago, it’s This American Newspaper.” He’ll never do it, but with second dose fever dreams looming, anything is on the table.

This week: bad Scooters, remotes get a little less universal, and half-hearted predictions around the forthcoming hum-drum spring Apple event. 🎵.

Now congregants, if you would please turn to Exodus 31:18, we will read of Phil Schiller’s arduous journey to Mount Sinai where he received the App Store rules — rules that persist to this very day!

This week: keyboards that go clickety clack, Tim’s relationship with the truth is sort of whack, and a new Sonos speaker small enough to take to the track. ⌨️.
