| 1:04.7 | Every year, hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world flock to Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. |
| 1:13.6 | And they spend a week trying to sell each other on the weirdest gadgets you've ever seen in your entire life. |
| 1:18.6 | This week on the Vergecast, we're talking all about everything happening at CES, from the TVs to the AI gadgets, to the humanoid robots that everybody is hoping might |

| 2:31.4 | I think the thinking is that Spotify feels that they're going to get a good ruling. |
| 2:35.9 | And depending on how that plays out, it could be a big deal for services like Spotify, who complain that Apple treats them unfairly in its app store. |
| 2:42.2 | It's part of a wave of antitrust stuff coming towards Apple. |
