| 0:00.0 | My car's in the shop. I have a shop owner. No, no, no, shut up. It's a recal. |
| 0:05.6 | I love that you've been actually buy two new cars in the last like three seconds and it's already in the shop. |
| 0:09.4 | No, no, no, it's okay. It's okay. So I have a white jet aloner because it has to be white. Of course it's white. |
| 0:15.2 | How could it not be? It's not for it. That's how it happens to be white. It happened. It happened to me Marco. You don't understand. It was the only option. |
| 0:22.9 | We should start by telling everyone that if you are not actively driving your car and are interested in a shirt that reflects the show art from the last episode and probably this episode as well. |
| 0:34.5 | You should stop everything unless you're driving and order one right now because they are only going to be available until what is it Tuesday Monday evening our time. So the 28 basically a few days from now. Right. So this is not the sort of thing where I'm sure I'll remember. |
| 0:50.8 | If you want one of our gag slacks of dental tech podcast shirts don't just stop just stop what you're doing stop listening to me go right now ATP.fm slash store. There's a link there. Please go. We had a bunch of people that have asked for this and we we kind of kicked around between three of us. |
| 1:06.7 | Is there going to be more than 10 people that really want this is this stupid or is anyone going to care. But we talked to people cotton bureau and they said, Hey, yeah, we can do it and we'll try to ship it as quick as we can. |
| 1:16.2 | Turns out we don't know whether it's stupid. It probably is still stupid. But a lot of people in the blinding anyway. |
| 1:21.6 | This stuff is definitely stupid. You have to hurry to buy this before it stops being remotely funny. Yeah, exactly. But the best thing is I thought about this for our shirts. Like I think we could graph this somehow. There is it's bumpy. But there's a trend to our shirts becoming more and more difficult to explain. |
| 1:41.0 | I mean, I guess you could explain it to podcast sharp. But beyond that, you're like. |
| 1:45.6 | Those are the shapes of computers and their rainbow colored because they're Apple computers, but they're not all the Apple computers. They're professional ones. What does that do with the podcast? Well, I'm the podcast. I like to talk about it. And then this one with the Slack logo made out of Mac pros. Like there's a lot of explaining that has to go on. |
| 2:01.6 | But it is it is a really good gag and it is really good shirt. I think it looks I mean forget it. Forget the joke or anything about it. I think it looks nice. I think it's just nice looking shirt. |
| 2:10.8 | But it is a very short live gag. So you buy it now. And then when the thing is threadbare in 10 years, you can explain to someone in the grocery store what the hell the shirt is the wearing. |
| 2:20.8 | And you can explain the one Mac pro that was ever made after that point. It's not included on the shirt. |
| 2:27.8 | Yeah, indeed. So anyway, if you would like to buy them, this is yeah, when we do the shirts around WDC time, we really genuinely think of that as a way to support the show. This is not too, but it's also mostly a gag. |
| 2:38.8 | So this is entirely a gag thing for the people who want it because people ask for it. They said I want the that's a funny thing. You should put that in the shirt. Okay, here you go. It's on a shirt. |
| 2:47.8 | You really sell it, John. You want you want a bumper? Fine. Here's a bumper. |
| 2:53.8 | Yeah, so this is the we will we will not make you feel guilty if you do not buy this shirt. But if you have a few extra bucks quite a few extra bucks that you can throw our way. I think we could all be made happy by this ridiculous shirt that I actually should. |
| 3:04.8 | I was planning to do this, but come to think of it. I should congratulate our resident artist, Mark O'Arment, for putting this together. Both the both the idea and the execution, both superb. Thank you. |
| 3:16.8 | And actually come to think of it. I don't recall there being any requested edits from John, which granted this is a gag, but still that is that is that is unheard of. It was a good gag. Well executed. That is yeah, that is unheard of. |
| 3:28.8 | Yeah, so if you are interested, please check it out. Obviously we deeply appreciate it. But this is we will we will make you feel guilty in June over what ridiculous merchandise we come up with then we're not going to make you feel guilty about this. This is just for fun. |
