The Thing Is

Talking about the Panic Playdate, lawn maintenance, and pinning money to one's shirt on a birthday

Apple, Vegas, Margaritas, and Siri

A lot of Apple, just a little mayonnaise, Vegas, parenting, and more mayonnaise.

Elevators, New York City, the plague of force quitting apps, bedbugs, and TV commercials

iOS apps moving to the Mac, Apple's new services, and Stevie's podcast habits. Colin's reverse pick: Pet Semetary Stevies picks: Do By Friday and Roderick on the Line

Bees, Eyes, Scripting, old iPads, new Mac Pros, and holes, both shit- and black-

Mike, Stephen, and Colin talk about jobs, Macs, Macs at jobs, Macs at schools, dads and iPads, software update and Apple Music gripes, nuclear annihilation segueing very abruptly into talk about a $90 iMac stand/dock thingy, Texas pro-Israel law, Georgia earthquakes, something subduction zones, Supervolcanoes, Yellowstone, visits to Austin, and road trips.

In a real change of content, Colin joins Mike and Stevie and they talk about having a podcast, what little Mike knows about allergy shots, doctors and the relationships with them, the Sentinelese, vermin infestations, artisanal bindles, the Rat King, homeownership, pizza rolls, and a glimpse behind the scenes of our new artwork!

Apple ID passwords, complaints about the new iPad Pro, Stevie goes really deep on some smart HDMI switch, AppleTV vs. Roku, right to repair advocation.

Stevie's new watch, details of semiconductor design, sleep tracking, waking up, Stevie's iPad situation and general financial responsibility, Stevie's mass storage addiction, AirPod battery life (dirty little secret), and a great big cliffhanger ending!
