I wanted to actually commend something that I think you might find surprising.

Oh, this is surprising already. I genuinely don't know where you're going with this, and I'm scared.

Something has been working every single time for me that used to never work.

The most surprising thing is the product it involves, the home pod. I have no explanation for this,

but for whatever reason, in the last, like, maybe few weeks, maybe month, when I switch the output of

my music app on my phone from the phone to a home pod, now works every time and it works quickly and then when

i'm done like you know in the shower or whatever and i switch the speaker back to my phone it also

switches immediately and perfectly the music does not lose its place.

And it works just as well with all of my like, you know,

iTunes matched self-uploaded jam band concerts as it does with catalog tracks from Apple Music.

This has blown me away. So I wanted to, I spent so much time complaining about how badly the HomePod worked in specifically

this way over so many years that I wanted to actually finally commend. I don't know why it

suddenly works. I don't, I don't remember seeing any release notes to this effect, but recently it

started working and now it works amazingly. So whoever at Apple did that, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

I will now think about you every time I take a shower.

Hot.

You're very brave to say this on the program because it could be that nothing has changed

and you've just gotten extraordinary lucky.

And guess what?

Your luck just ran out.

You jinxed it.

Believe me, something changed because I assure you this never worked before. Like it would it would time out. It would drop. It would error out. It would continue on the home pop. But then the phone would lose it. And so there was no way to switch back. And the phone would think it was still playing or it was playing something else. Like it was a disaster for so many years. But for some reason now, it works exactly the way it was always supposed to work. And it's so much nicer now. I wish I could say the same about my Sonos Rome. I have a Sonos Rome two now because my one was just so flaky that I couldn't deal with it. So I bought a second one. That's my shower speaker, by the way. That's why I'm thinking of it. And boy, does it not work the way it's supposed to? Half the time, the Sonos doesn't even show up as an airplay choice of places to play to, which just boggles my mind.
