After a quick, but timely update about Android OS dessert names, Marques and Andrew dive head-first into the weeds surrounding influencer-disclosure for brand promotions. They compare some of their personal experiences to the extremely relaxed rules that television, movies, and traditional media have enjoyed over the years.

We also discuss the upcoming developer conferences that were announced by both Google and Apple and talk about what we expect to see. Lastly, we talk about Full Self Driving and break down what exactly you get with each tier of Teslas autopilot. Of course, we wrap it all up with a little trivia. Enjoy!

Is Apple Breaking the Law?

This week, we have a fun bonus episode where David Pierce from the Vergecast tries to help Marques convince Andrew to use a proper to-do list app instead of his alarm clock. Throughout the episode they gather information on how Andrew handles his task list and then try to figure out which app would be best for him to use. Then we turn the tables and see how fast David Pierce can type the alphabet! Enjoy!
