I wanted you on the show, Jason, for a couple of weeks now. We've been trying to work it out. And now you are. And in the interim, I got very angry at you. Now I'm angry. It's true. I'm sorry you're angry. We're seeing each other next week. Well, that's why I want to work this. I want to work this out before we're going to work. Okay, good. I'm going to work it through. I'm listening to the upgrade. One of my favorite upgrade episodes

of the year is you and Mike Hurley doing the recap of the Apple Report Card. It's part of the whole

Apple Report Card annual extravaganza. I love it. And then you get to be talking about the Mac,

and you make the very interesting observation that the way you've set up the report card all along is partly to fight against category proliferation.

For sure.

Because it's already in a lot of categories.

Yeah.

And partly just to make it, let's make it difficult on the scorers, the graders, the voters, what do we call the, what do we call the invitees?

The panelists, the panelists, I would say.

That it's, I'm not giving you two Mac categories.

You've got to settle like the Gestalt of the Mac as a whole.

Right. And that it's, and I agree. I both find it difficult and it makes me angry, but I agree that it's like,

it's like getting some exercise in. It's supposed to be difficult. It's supposed to work your muscles.

And then you get to Yapin with Mike about how you would have graded it, which we'll get to in a

moment. And you said you would have given it an A because you don't get the kerfuffle over

Tahoe and then I want to. That's not quite what I said. By the way, I'm going to throw your bone here. This is my piece offering right up front, which is I think you're right about the Siri AI category. I think I need to add it. And I think you were right last year and I just forgot to add it. So I'm going to, I made it to do to put that in my spreadsheet so that it happens for next year.

Because I think you're right. I think this year. last year and I just forgot to add it. So I'm going to, I made it to do to put that in my spreadsheet

so that it happens for next year. Because I think you're right. I think this year especially, it will be very interesting to see what happens. And so I want to kind of commit to that now that I think that's a good idea. But look, what I said about the Mac, it's funny, because I think we, I don't think we disagree as much.

I don't think you're going to need to throttle me too much.

Maybe, maybe just unconsciousness instead of death.

I, honestly, it's one of these things, too, where it's obviously the trend over the last

few months is people talking about how terrible they think liquid glass is and how bad
