| 0:00.0 | Mayo, have you ever watched the prices right? Is that a thing in the UK? |
| 0:04.0 | I think it is a thing, but I don't really watch it. I know what it is. Yeah. |
| 0:08.8 | Well, there was an episode, apparently last week, I saw it on threads from... I saw the clip, yeah. |
| 0:14.1 | Yeah, from Justin Ryan, who does really good work sharing things about Vision Pro. I think he has a newsletter about |
| 0:21.3 | Vision Pro that I'll try to put in the show notes, but Vision Pro was one of the, the items on the |
| 0:28.4 | prices right, where the contestants had to guess how much the Vision Pro cost. And the person who's |
| 0:33.2 | closest wins it. And it's that price is right rules is you can't go over. So if it's a thousand |
| 0:39.2 | dollar product, you guess $1,000, uh, you lose. The guesses from these contestants were not |
| 0:45.2 | great. So the first, the first person guessed $1,000. The second person guessed $750. Third person |
| 0:52.5 | guessed $1,000. First person guessed guessed 1270. Right off the bat, the last person should have guessed $1,0002 if she thought it was over the previous highest guess of 1,000. So that's a strategy error in her attempt to play price is right. But beyond that, none of those guesses are even remotely in the |
| 1:12.8 | ballpark of how much Vision Pro cost. |
| 1:15.3 | Because I see, I'm watching the clip and I see Drew Carey, I see the Vision Pro like fall |
| 1:18.9 | out of the sky. |
| 1:20.1 | Drew Carey describes it as like this mixed reality headset. |
| 1:22.8 | It's the Apple Vision Pro. |
| 1:23.8 | I do think his description was quite funny too. |
| 1:26.0 | And like, he was like, you watch movies and take calls on it. |
| 1:30.1 | I was like, technically true. Yeah. Yeah. You can in fact do both of those things. He kind of missed the price. He says 256. I'm like, all right, 3499, put me on the price is right. And the fact that none of the |
| 1:48.7 | people got even close, I think it's just such a funny. It shows like how much people in the real |
| 1:55.2 | world know about Vision Pro and how much they care about it. And it also shows just how big of a |
| 2:00.4 | discrepancy between what Vision Pro currently costs and how much they care about it. And it also shows just how big of a discrepancy between |
| 2:01.9 | what Vision Pro currently costs and how much people think a product like that or technology |
