0:00.0	Welcome to The Man Show, ladies and gentlemen. We've got a fantastic show lined up for you today, starting, of course, with, oh man, I don't even know, I don't know what to start with.
0:11.0	Until older lake processors are all of a sudden available at retail. So that's kind of a big deal thing that happened, especially since, according to the latest leaks, they're not supposed to launch for like another two weeks.
0:26.0	Speaking of launches, Apple launched what might be the most pro-oriented computer that they've launched since the Mac Pro, which was the most pro-oriented computer that they had launched in years.
0:39.0	So we're going to be talking about the new Macbook Pro that is actually for pros again. What else we got?
0:44.0	Missouri Governor vows to prosecute inspecting element, or the F12 key or console or whatever, where you can see HTML on a web page. Kind of awkward. We'll talk about that a little bit later. Also, EA and FIFA are breaking up.
1:01.0	Is everyone leaving EA?
1:03.0	What? EA and FIFA are breaking up?
1:06.0	That's really exciting. Who will I go to for my updated rosters?
1:10.0	What if I want to spend too much on setting up a custom roster in a, in a video game? What do I do?
1:17.0	I don't know, look away from other than EA.
1:20.0	No!
1:30.0	Terrible.
1:36.0	I was so sad.
1:42.0	All right, let's jump right into our first topic. And this is one that is not in the dock, but I went in prompt due Linus, and I was like, we are going to talk about this because I am super angry about it.
1:56.0	So this article is from digital trends. There are retailers out there who are evidently already selling Intel 12th generation Alder Lake processors, not only that, but at a cheap price. And it's sort of hard to argue with the evidence here.
2:13.0	So Reddit user Sebi 9123 apparently got his or her hands on two 12900K processors. And that looks like a pretty credible looking box shot. So as far as I can tell, individual end users are able to get their hands on these chips.
2:34.0	And without disclosing anything that would get me in trouble because of our NDA with Intel, I'm going to say that it is conceivable that end users could have these chips to work on testing or benchmarking them or whatever the case may be.
2:52.0	Before members of the press who have signed non-disclosure agreements with Intel about these processors on what planet does that make any sense?
3:05.0	It's also isn't the first time.
3:06.0	No.
3:07.0	Getting some major day javu, right?
3:09.0	It's not the first time.
