Matthew Panzerino welcome welcome back to the show.

0:03.6

Thank you sir, thanks for having me.

0:05.4

Wow, it's a tough week to have a show there's no news.

0:11.4

Yeah, we might as well just shut it down, go on vacation.

0:17.6

Man, yeah, it's been like that every day.

0:20.0

So, we are recording on Tuesday the 31st so we are literally talking like two hours after Apple posted.

0:28.8

Quarterly results so we can actually do like a new show.

0:31.5

It's like we're like on CNN or something talking about breaking news.

0:36.9

1:45.1

Sounded to me reading the summary that they said it was a record breaking quarter now that makes sense because it's a holiday quarter and I think that it's if they did break those watch sales out I think the holiday quarter is going to be a huge spike just like in the old days the way iPods were.

2:03.0

And then last but not least services Apple's favorite word of the last two years is up.

2:08.4

Is that a fair summary.

2:10.4

Yeah I think so I mean I think there's some question about that other category and like the overall other category there was there was a dip in growth but the watch the general consensus is the watch did find in the quarter.
