Oh, there's no fisherman's friend number one. I'm number one honey right now. Number one B. Yeah, it's my new honey brand number one honey. Yeah, it's like an old days in the phone book where they would be like a one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, one plumbing. Yeah, one pizza, a one had to market cornered. Yeah, because they needed that high listing. That was before Google. The yellow will you do doesn't know anything about that. He's 19 years old today. Happy birthday. Well, happy birthday to you. Thanks. I'm glad you're now.

A legal drinking age here. All right. What type of beverage can I get you? You want to know some money? You want to know some were back and I mean, I got the big T again. Big T big show. There's a lot going on. There's a lot to talk about, which is can't be held down. It's impossible. Um, I thought about it. I was like, man, this uh, this voice here.

It's like a smack. You know, I mean, I just write in the I gave myself a punch in the throat. Don't do that. Don't do that. I didn't do that either. But I'm here. I can't even get loud. Very happy about that. I don't know. You don't want me to get loud. You know, we get out. Oh, man, I can still do it. Well, don't try. Well, don't try. Well, try. I'm back, man.

I'm back. Apple is not back in Russia. Apple is not back in Russia. Uh, they're leaving Russia. You can no longer buy Apple products in Russia. They have a join this long list of companies that is pulled out of Russia due to obviously this recent invasion of Ukraine.

Uh, Apple today joined the list of tech companies that have responded to Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. And it's most significant move yet. The company paused sales of its entire product lineup in Russia with immediate effect Bloomberg reports. Decision is resulted in the cessation of sales being made via Apple's online store for Russia.

People attempting to buy an Apple product via the Russian Apple store are now welcomed with a delivery unavailable message. Apple issued a statement confirming the developments and added that it has already stopped the exports of its products. In addition, several Apple services, including Apple pay have been severely restricted in the country and apps like RT news and sputnik news removed from all app stores outside Russia. Um, so listen.

I had heard that with the crashing of the rubble, the local currency in Russia, people had been rushing.

Russian to buy Apple products in order to convert their rubles into something of value. What is this noise going on?

What is that? Oh, it's like a big earthquake.

Attempting to convert those rubles into something that would hold its value more than those rubles, which were dipping hard, although I don't know how far they can dip.

So this kind of came at an in opportune time. I'm sure Apple was selling playing a product over there still, like I said, ATMs being difficult, not necessarily down, not all banks have been affected in the same way. Somebody got mad at me the other day, I was like, because I have relatives in Poland, and they were saying, hey, we can't get money out the bank.

And some people are saying, I'm in Poland, stop spreading misinformation. And I was like, man, they just told me on the phone, they have no reason to lie to me.

But the truth is that these are big places. And from region to region is going to be differing situations, right? The amount of cash on hand at any one ATM together with the amount of panic in that particular region, maybe the cloak, how cover close it happens to be to Ukraine.

Same with the gas stations, it's going to be a regional thing, whether they are loaded up or not.

But as far as on the Russian side, as far as that goes, it will no longer be, Apple will no longer be a safe haven of products for individual citizens to place their money and hold onto those products or attempt to resell them at a later date, or I don't even know what else they would plan on doing with that.

But I think it was just a panic mode is basically what I heard. So anyway, here's a tweet from Tim Cook. I'm deeply concerned with the situation in Ukraine.

We're doing all we can for our teams there, and we'll be supporting local humanitarian efforts. I'm thinking of the people who are right now in harm's way and joining all those calling for peace. Yeah, I mean, your Tim Cook, you got to say something, right?

Your Tim Cook, you can come out and say something, you got operations over there.

What can I say? I mean, I'm not surprised by this move. It's one of those ones where, and I was thinking about this when it comes to these sanctions, right?

You come in with the heavy handed sanctions and your government, let's say the U.S. government or whatever European Union, whatever happens to be, makes a decision to attempt to cripple the economy.

All the economy of a region based on their actions or activities, you as a company are in a weird place because these sanctions may directly or indirectly actually target you as well.

So now you're in a spot where it would seem really strange for you to try to find a workaround, and it's easier in a way to just say, or out completely, or pausing everything for now.
