A thoughtful, unpretentious, mostly weekly conversation about the companies, ideas and products that are transforming our world. We look at what it is, why it matters and where it fits in the broader business of consumer technology. So, grab your favorite Blue Barn sandwich, put the Giants game on mute and join us. Hosted by Ryan Fretwell and Carlos Gomez.
In the grand scheme of things, what is life if not one costly lease where the payments never end except when you do? Wait a minute, that gives Tim Cook an idea. A little dark, a little unfair, much like the App Store. This week: Italian private equity, Running Point, and Ryan has early onset Olympic Fever. ⚽.
The Overton Window, except about how loud music in a restaurant can be relative to the quality of the fries. The McDonald Window, if you will. This week: superautos, watchin’ the Odyssey on a baby monitor, and trail mix privacy concerns. ☕.
Emmy voters, for your humble consideration: a 54% price increase on a 4 year old Apple TV. This week: dancing crabs, multipurpose rooms, and Wi-Fi 7 at Cafe Nervosa. 🦀.
Oy, captain. What’s that on the horizon? No, it can’t be! Is it — a sleeker white whale? A goat? More confused animal metaphors? 🫢. This week: Bob and Olive, a flyover view of WWDC, and Ryan on his reboot of “This Old House” coming soon to Warnermount Max.
We apologize for our extended absence but one of your hosts is still recovering from the bombshell news that San Diego is, regrettably, actually pretty cool. This week: starter EVs, travel talk, and the triumphant return of Still or Sparkling. 💦. Psst: this is a good one.
The closest we’ll ever get to the heyday of FiveThirtyEight (the letters not the numbers), a low key emergency pod recorded over dinner after Apple’s big announcements (most notably, the MacBook Neo). Plus some quiet tip coordination. 💻.
You can either run a 10K across the most beautiful city in the country while eating pastries, or you can make a very sad ‘run for the border’. Seems like an easy choice. This week: Apple experiences in the Big Apple, Olympic fever cases ticking up, and Dark Sky rises again. ⛈️.
Amazon Go as a concept may have been axed this week, but it gave way to the best SNL sketch ever so perhaps it was worth all the effort. Also on the show: all eyes are on The Bay for the Puppy Bowl, Frasier themed Wi-Fi network names, and the great EV pullback. 🐾.
Winston Churchill trying to cut the cord in 2026: “YouTube TV is worst vMPVD, except for all the others that have been tried.” This week: our nation’s Semiquincentennial, EV road trippin’, and smart locks take over The Sphere.🔒.
You know how on NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me”, you used to be able to win Carl Kasell recording your outgoing voicemail message? A modern day version of that except it’s Patrick Fabian. Make it happen, Eddy. This week: Carlos gets uncharacteristically riled up about movie theaters, Ryan takes his Peloton to Geek Squad, and the Apple Cart gets upset.🎥.
