Technically Correct

It would appear that everyone in the Bay Area is in a perpetual state of auditioning for their very own reality television show. As such, your hosts survey the field of pizza phoners, calamitously loud typists, and skeevy middle fingerers. But it's not all bad news for Northern California – the Giants are second best in the major leagues, though Ryan laments that the regular season has too many games and too few power plays on ice. All this plus: Google acquires Webpass for its Fiber operations, 1Password at 10 years, rumors of the upcoming iPhone ditching the headphone jack, watching television at 1.6x, and once again, dogs on IG.

Annual vacations to Italy, frequent rafting trips, an adorable dog, improbably photogenic friends. One would think the meticulously selected members of the Apple Stock Photography family have it all. But who are they — really? We investigate.

And what's the deal with this guy on Amazon that sleeps with full cup of coffee on his mattress in the middle of the workday? We tackle these difficult questions this week plus: updates on WWDC 2016, E3, the NBA finals, our picks of the week, and your hosts vehemently disagree on whether Chopped is a good television program.

Good evening and welcome to the show. Would you like still or sparkling water with your podcast this evening?

As with most things in life, it's never that simple. This week, we pour out a can of La Croix passionfruit water for the short-lived Keurig KOLD, discuss under what circumstances you should complain at an establishment or send something back at a restaurent (spoiler: never), and why we may or may not be feeling 'the Bern'. Plus: subscription app pricing in the run-up to WWDC, predictions for Monday’s keynote, podcasts as a medium, Bill Simmons on HBO, and Internet mattresses. 🛏.

$10 artisanal toast? Okay. $15 sustainably farmed arugula and caper salad? Fine. A French themed hypo-allergenic bakery for dogs in the Marina? Shut it down, everybody. Carlos encounters a review of said dog bakery ghostwritten by a proud "dog mom" from the perspective of her "furbaby" Tater Tot and loses his mind; Ryan adds context and perspective. Plus: puppuccinos, DayQuil, face computers, unconfirmed delays of unconfirmed products, the new Union Square Apple Store, ‘second date ice cream’, and a hyperlocal conversation about Bay Area food you'll probably fast forward over. 🍦.

Carlos makes the case that while yes, millennials are most certainly the worst, they came of age during the best possible period of technological change. Ryan advocates for running with open hands and an open heart, armband optional.

Instagram redesigned their app and everyone lost their minds, but the Internet mob is missing the forest through the trees. What they really should be asking themselves is: which pups are the best Instagram pups? Should I follow more dogs than people? Am I a bad person if my Explore tab isn't mostly dogs? Listen for the answer to these questions plus: the tyranny of alkaline watch batteries in 2016, Apple Watch follow-up, that NYT podcast article, Google Chirp and the Nexus Q that never had a chance to orb. 🔮

Grab a mimosa and let's talk new Kindles, Prime-by-the-month, with a side of Model X claim chowder. Plus, opening up the time capsule that is our Amazon.com purchase history.

Stepping up to the plate, batting eighth for the Los Angeles Lakers of Anaheim, Kobe 'The Akron Hammer' Bryant.

This episode, get a rundown on an historic week of professional basketball, follow up on baseball walk-up anthems, and a much deserved condemnation of the 2016 Prius. Also: 3D touch, landscape calendars, subscription software and the dying art of building a PC.
