| 0:00.0 | I need to find that episode where we talked about self-driving so I can send it to people because I feel like my warnings are not being heated |
| 0:08.2 | Kid past John's warnings drive your cars people |
| 0:13.6 | You've been ripping some test flight builds like it's your job |
| 0:19.0 | I am yet again |
| 0:21.0 | Procrastinating by making iOS 12 builds better |
| 0:24.6 | Yeah, I've been doing the same thing except you've been doing a much better job with it than me for people who weren't on the test |
| 0:29.7 | First of all if you want to join the beta, please join the beta |
| 0:31.9 | What happens to the betas is this happens with every app every beta is |
| 0:36.1 | No matter how many testers you get you get like a couple of good installations out of each one and then they start fading and they don't |

| 1:16.7 | I just like delete everybody and make everybody a restart if they want to |
| 1:19.7 | Because you know most of the time you get all like cycle through people because they you know they they they fall off |
| 1:26.0 | Anyway, in this build I am changing the sync protocol to the servers in a pretty substantial way |

| 1:35.0 | So when most my beta group has fallen off I had to add new ones anyway |
