| 0:00.0 | I don't want to say anything. I don't want to spoil the show, but I'm excited. It's going to be a good one |
| 0:04.7 | I think. I am also excited. You know, I'm a little pissed off at the two of you. I understand it in knowing what we knew at the time |
| 0:11.5 | I stand by it, but I am a little pissed at the two of you for blowing our opportunity for we are the champions on the |
| 0:18.6 | Stupid Mac Pro, which I'm even end up buying, which by the way, I do owe you probably publicly a, I don't know, an apology, |
| 0:25.8 | I accolade something for not having bought a Mac Pro. I absolutely lost about with myself. I figured you would have had one within six months at the earliest and probably six or excuse me |
| 0:36.2 | At the latest and probably six weeks, but you held out. I mean, I bought the XDR instead. I'm not sure how much credit I deserve. Although you did hold out on that for a pretty long time as well. I did. You know, the sick thing is the really sick thing is now I am spoiling the show and just ever so slightly. |
| 0:54.8 | I'm now trying to think about what my new computing life will look like. Save it. And I'm looking at the monitor situation and I'm like, oh, |
| 1:02.8 | This is not good. This is not good at all. I got problems. I got problems with you. I got problems. |
| 1:11.5 | There's just watched over some future episode of the show where I've just purchased a Jeep Wrangler and you've just purchased an XDR. |
| 1:16.9 | I will say that you're going to hate what I ordered, but that's okay. I mean, unless you order like the Intel I'm at, like I think it'll be okay. |
| 1:26.9 | You know, I just really wanted that nice warmth and the fans that blow my hair back. I wanted it just one more time. |
| 1:33.9 | It was I think the last in person W. W. D. C. show that you two made a terrible mistake and I was complaining to Marco about this before John got on the call. |
| 1:46.9 | You you used it too soon. You blew our opportunity to edit in right here. We are the champions because gentlemen, we are the champions today. |
| 1:56.9 | All three of us. Who are the champions? All three of us. I don't care about laptops. |
| 2:01.9 | Your work does and you still have a job. You job all three of us are the champions, my friends. This was the moment. |
| 2:07.9 | I'm only the champions of it. If I get one of these at work, the prospects of that same dim you will you will eventually. |
| 2:14.9 | Oh, man. So the rules state that we are not allowed to do any sort of follow up and we need to just dive right in. So big week. |
| 2:22.9 | I have I have not stopped like happy crying in days. |
| 2:28.9 | Yeah, I am genuinely surprised how excited I am about everything and we're going to talk a lot about our reactions. |
| 2:37.9 | We're going to talk a lot, obviously, about this event. But something that I've realized is, you know, every year I get excited for new phones. |
