| 0:00.0 | Hello, welcome to the Apple Insider podcast. I'm William Gallagher. As sponsors this week, |
| 0:10.7 | are Oracle and Masterclass. And I'm joined by Wesley Hilliard. But first, as we record this, |
| 0:17.0 | the fires in California, I mean, they are terrifying. A friend who was just evacuated there tells me that his house is okay so far, |
| 0:24.5 | but the place is right next door where he just shops and sometimes walks. |

| 1:12.2 | I just know it's when we record and show up. |
| 1:15.4 | This is probably the one thing I don't have in my schedule. |
| 1:18.3 | I probably should add it now that you've reminded me. |
| 1:20.9 | Okay. |
| 1:22.7 | Right, which I had an idea for whichever way you were going to say, to do a, |
| 1:27.1 | I had a clever remark and it's totally ruined now. |
