| 0:00.0 | This is a historic event in episode today because we are recording episode 400 of your accidental tech podcast. |
| 0:09.0 | But that's not even what's the most impressive thing about this episode. |
| 0:14.0 | I'm sure there was another time, but to the best of my recollection, I cannot recall the time that I have looked at the show notes. |
| 0:23.0 | And it says followed hyphen up colon and then there's a bullet and nothing else. |
| 0:30.0 | How many times do we have to go over this chat room? Would you like to inform Casey whether or not we have fall-up on episodes where they're Apple events? |
| 0:36.0 | I knew does anyone in the chat room know, but oh no, no, I know how the rules work. |
| 0:40.0 | I know I know you though, because every time we have an episode you're like, oh my god, we're not gonna have fall-up. I can't handle it. |
| 0:46.0 | No, because usually you have, well somebody probably you has a list of follow-up items that we choose to ignore. |

| 1:04.0 | That's what you thought you did. Now we get to come do it. |
| 1:07.0 | All right, so the revelation of Casey as the start of this program is, look, if before the show starts I delete all the fall-up. |
| 1:12.0 | We have empty follow-up. |
| 1:14.0 | Wait, that's the secret I could have done this for 399 episodes. That's all it takes. |
| 1:19.0 | Google Docs never forgets. I'm gonna bring up the history pain later and pull it out. |
| 1:23.0 | But it's not relevant to this episode because it's an Apple event episode. |
| 1:26.0 | Isn't follow-up always something we've already done by definition? |
| 1:30.0 | Don't get confused, Marco. Have we done the follow-up? It's met a follow-up. |
| 1:36.0 | Oh my god. |
| 1:39.0 | I would like to complain right up front so I can be happy for the rest of the episode. Can we do that? Is that okay? |
| 1:45.0 | You can complain even faster thanks to Verizon's new 5G Broadband Ultra Wide Brand Network. |
