I wanna try everything here in the funnel that I might fail.

Hello. Hello, Merlin. Hello, Dan. How are you? I'm doing great.

Hey, it's Dan and Merlin in the morning.

Are you ready to rock out with your pound sign productivity out?

You know, I mean, I am excited to do this show. I'm especially excited because

you know, whenever there's a big Apple event and you attended, I know that you save all of your coverage for for this show.

So I know we've got a special four to five hour show set aside to talk about the the new iPhone SE.

Thank you, Dan. I'm so glad you brought this up.

You know, for years, it's been very important to me to live blog the event that everyone is watching at the same time that I'm typing about it.

There's a lot of things that are very difficult about the live blogging.

It's a lot like shooting the film The Revenant. It didn't have to be this hard, but we chose to make it that way.

Back to you, Dan.

We got a lot. We got to make four to five hour show. This is gonna be a huge, huge week, giant week.

I mean, I, you know, we have a lot of different approaches we can take to this, but I thought if we went feature by feature, spec by spec,

comparing the SE to all previous iPhones one at a time, one by one, that that would, that would be a good way to spend the time.

Well, in case you missed it, I also did a video where I held every different phone up and I turned it on to see how long it would take.

Oh, yeah.

And then, and then I talked about five minutes about every rumor about every previous phone just to remind you about each of those.

And then I did, I did an interactive a day in the life of the new, whatever it's called, iPhone, where I walked around with it.
