| 0:00.0 | Actually, you know what, I have a bone to pick with you. It just occurred to me. |
| 0:03.2 | Awesome. I want you to fix a problem. You're not going to fix because you shouldn't. |
| 0:07.6 | You're really making a good case for yourself there. |
| 0:10.0 | I wanted to listen under the radar. When I went out for my run earlier today, and if you recall, |
| 0:16.6 | I run with watch and AirPods only. And I went to run overcast on my watch, which worked. |
| 0:23.7 | But the episode wasn't there because you had just released it like four and a half minutes prior. |
| 0:28.4 | I want streaming or some sort of manual, please, sir. Can I have it updated now? |
| 0:35.0 | Button. And you're not going to do it and you're probably right not to do it, but I want it. |
| 0:39.2 | I would love to offer that. I would love if there was a way that I could reliably initiate a |
| 0:45.0 | transfer that would happen immediately to the watch. There isn't. |
| 0:49.2 | No, but this is a cellular watch, man. Go to the internet. |
| 0:52.1 | Well, okay. I could do that. It would basically require a significantly different pipeline for |
| 0:57.6 | that file to get into the watch for it to be processed and synced. You would be dependent on |
| 1:04.0 | whatever the bitrate and format of the audio would be, which could be awfully large and |
| 1:12.6 | complicated for the watch to handle. Oh, and I wouldn't get smart speed. What do I? |
| 1:15.8 | You definitely wouldn't get smart speed. The watch is not fast enough to pre-process it. |
| 1:21.7 | And the API doesn't exist to do it live. It would basically be a really terrible experience. |
| 1:28.3 | Now, that being said, if there's something you want to listen to that isn't already on your watch |
| 1:32.4 | and you want to sync it over immediately and watch who I just isn't syncing it, that's also a |
| 1:37.6 | terrible experience. But fixing it like that's the kind of thing that I assume. And maybe after |
| 1:43.7 | this many years, this might be a bad assumption, but I assume that that's the kind of thing that |
| 1:48.2 | apples likely to fix sometime, whereas the complexity of having these two different ways for a file |
