Stephen and Mike talk a lot of Apple stuff and Mike totally whiffs the show notes. 

John and Mike talk about, and ONLY about, games and the App Store. XCloud, Fortnite/Epic, and their battles with Apple. That’s it.  Nothing else. For almost an hour. 

John, Stephen, and Mike kick it off with some light headphone banter, move onto new iMacs and more Work from Home equipment opinions...all your favorite topics. Oh, and scrambled porn. Recommended: Succession, Doom Patrol, YouTube Not Recommended: Brave New World

John, Stephen and Mike talk bulk Mac packaging and managing, the business of drugs, how Netflix was, Mike’s dumb AppleID issue, and being down with PPP.

Stephen and Mike talk the same old mostly-Apple stuff: the “Big Twitter Hack,” selling old MacBooks, phone sizes, in-box charging equipment, working from home forever, deploying Macs, and Hamilton.

As we face the insignificance of our established subject matter... John, Stephen, and Mike talk about WWDC, what it will bring and what it will be like, changing podcast apps and Apples rejection of hey.com from the App Store.

Editor’s note: recorded May 28th, not ignoring the state of the world since then. #BlackLivesMatter Stephen, John, and Mike talk unlocking your phone with a mask on, iPad Pro 2018 vs. 2020, Android vs. iOS, and some media picks.

James, Stephen, and Mike get too hot to handle talking about Zoom, iPad Magic Keyboard, and Stevie’s favorite pastimes: unlocking phones with AT&T.

John, James, Steven, and Mike talk Google Meats; disabled, subpar startup chimes; magical keyboards; and speccing a MacBook Pro or iMac.        https://www.amazon.com/PONYBRO-Wireless-Keyboard-Raspberry-Notebooks/dp/B07VR5Y39T   65scribe - YouTube

John, James, and Mike talk about new Apple stuff, but keep coming back to the larger context into which that stuff was released.

James, Stephen, and Mike go super-deep (too deep) on iPad multitasking, covering pandemics, malware, Chrome, and browser tabs along the way.

Mike and John talk Apple Maps, the Great Services Push, Apple TV+ show reviews, and streaming services

John, Stephen, and Mike talk mostly iPads and calendars. Absolutely no liquid gets spilled during the making of this episode. 

James, Stephen, and Mike offer a lot of nostalgic reminiscence about working at the Apple Store and only a little disparaging of religious sects that they know nothing about. Family Room Hitler: https://youtu.be/4WJr4u1rLzM
