| 0:00.0 | We were supposed to record yesterday. There was a reason why we didn't that I'm not sure we want to share but there was a reason why we didn't and then today |
| 0:07.6 | Massive Apple news broke from this DOJ lawsuit and so we look really pressure we like we look like we had a |
| 0:17.0 | really good inside line to say like wait hold the show until tomorrow well we did |
| 0:22.4 | we did kind of know I mean everybody knew the rumors that the DOJ I think was going to announce |
| 0:26.3 | Were known before we began recording they were yeah, but I think they were like a little bit still squishy like it might happen it's rumored to happen maybe |
| 0:34.5 | we would have to be clear we wouldn't we would have just recorded as usual because here's the thing you have to |
| 0:39.0 | record sometime there's always going to be more news that comes after the show and you know way I was no way I would have said oh well because the DOJ thing is |

| 1:19.2 | after it and guess what all the news that happens after it is fair game for the next episode. |
| 1:23.2 | You just have to pick one day during the week and that's going to be the day. |
| 1:25.8 | So we occasionally shift things around but for the most part I really just want to say |
| 1:30.3 | we're very regimented. |
| 1:31.5 | Wednesday if possible. We are typically very regimented. Wednesday if possible. |
