| 0:00.0 | We had a very fun interaction earlier today. I find one of the ways. I mean, clearly, |
| 0:06.1 | overall, I'm rocketing, had light speed towards crotchety old man status. I mean, there's no doubt |
| 0:12.4 | about it. I mean, you know, I can't remember. I watch Saturday Night Live every week. I don't |
| 0:15.9 | remember the last time I'd ever heard of the musical guest. I mean, who was the music? Who |
| 0:23.7 | wasn't he forgotten? He's another son. Sure. Sure, turn memory. But there are a handful of ways |
| 0:34.2 | where I feel like, hey, see, I've still got it. I'm with the kids. And one of them is, is I keep |
| 0:39.5 | you as an emoji more and more. And I know this. Here's the thing. I, when did iOS add the feature |
| 0:47.6 | where where the, the auto suggestions above the keyboard include emoji? I think that's iOS 10. |
| 0:53.3 | Like it just came out like five months ago, right? But I've been using it since the summer on |

| 1:19.9 | be people who do, do type faster. You know, like, and it does seem when I, when I do pay attention |
| 1:25.2 | to it, it seems like the suggestions are sometimes amazing where you can type a fairly long word. And it |
| 1:31.9 | guesses, you know, you type like a, or you type a few words and it guesses. Right. Right. Like you type |
| 1:38.8 | a you and somehow it guesses that you wanted to type the word authorize because of, you know, like |
| 1:44.0 | the context of where it is. And it's like, wow, you could really save a lot of thumbtaps by |
| 1:48.8 | just a you and then auto consider anyway. I noticed I've, well, you're, you're too, yeah, but I'm |
| 1:54.4 | starting to notice those emoji that pop up as a suggestion. And so I sent one to you. I was, |
| 2:00.8 | and I said the word think. And when you type the word think, there's like a little like thought cloud |
