| 0:05.2 | So anyway, the WWDC announcement went up today. So we're lucky that we're recording this afternoon. |
| 0:11.1 | And the, the theme of the invitation, it's, it's a slew of widely diverse, |
| 0:18.0 | emoji characters looking at opening a creep, you know, not creepily, you know, |
| 0:25.2 | Craig, that's a wrong word. Craig, Craig, Craig Lee, Craig Lee, |
