0:00.0	We're getting close, we're getting close to the BBC, I'm so excited. I'm getting excited.
0:06.0	Like, I've come full circle now with the headset. I've followed the complete Apple hype cycle.
0:12.7	First, I was like, they're doing what? What? That seems weird. Why are they doing that?
0:18.7	Then I'm like, what? This can't possibly be very good. Everything else on the market sucks.
0:23.0	Why? How is Apple going to make something good? And then I'm like, well, they're going to release
0:27.5	something. It's probably going to be pretty good. And then, you know, I start hearing reports
0:32.0	and rumors. It's actually really good. And now, like, oh my god, it's going to be here.
0:35.7	It's going to be really good. Oh my god. Like, it's happening. This is just the cycle. I go through

1:29.1	the standard Apple slash Casey regarding Apple cycle. Right now, I'm just kind of confused by it
1:37.0	because I don't feel like it's filling a hole I have in my life. But typically when I say that,
1:42.6	I end up buying whatever the thing is and realizing I had a perfectly shaped hole for exactly
1:48.0	that device in my life. I just didn't realize it at the time. So I'm optimistic though. I mean,
1:54.0	I have understood VR to be extremely cool. I've only very briefly tried like Oculus stuff,
