Siri, Heme, Hige, Dank Memes, Crotchety Old Men, and Rock'n'Roll shirt sizes.

John, Colin, Stevie and Mike talk about beer, Italian heritage, near beer, iOS security, Square Cash card, B keys, pepperoni, and more!

Not much Apple talk this week, but the Democratic primary field gets thinned to just three lucky winners. Also Mexican/Tex-Mex food; Gatlinburg, Tennessee; and board games.

Stevie, John and Mike talk about some guy named Russ and a bunch of Apple stuff.

This Episode of The Thing Is is brought to you by Zeal.

Zeal: I Just Made it Worse!

The first ever episode of The Thing Is without Stevie, and it starts without Mike: Colin and John talk Rock’n’roll and Public enthusiasm; Mike joins to talk MacBooks, the environment, Space History, and Ric Flair fighting sharks.

More China (really just griping about air travel), new MacBooks, Jony’s departure, Ghostbusters pinball, beta OSes, and Stevie’s unreceived new old camera.

We hit some listener favorites like storage and the woes of corporate IT culture, Mike talks about getting to China with exceptionally bad audio and Colin makes a surprise appearance at the end.

Follow-up on Colin’s iMac situation, media formats, digging in deep(er) on iMac storage, Sam Elliot, the dark underbelly of the Jetsons and looong flights.

A long one, really deep on WWDC. No non-Apple talk here. Colin was sick and John was available.

Fusion Drives, Android Phones, China, Facial Hair, and lots of Bleeps
