| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Apple Insider podcast. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm your host, Wesley Hilliard, and I'm joined once again by William Gallagher. |
| 0:11.1 | Our sponsors this week are Aura Frames and Co-Pilot Money. |
| 0:15.1 | And this week, if you don't want to hear about ads, we have Apple Insider Plus, |
| 0:19.0 | which you can subscribe to via Apple Podcast or Patreon, |
| 0:21.9 | and we're going to be discussing what we would do if we could take control of any division |
| 0:26.8 | at Apple. That could even be CEO, or maybe we just want to be the leader of the Apple Car team, |
| 0:32.5 | where William can finally make it blue and release. So we'll get into that in the post show after the music plays. |
| 0:40.5 | But of course, if you are not a paying member, you're going to hear all of our ads and the usual |

| 1:06.0 | You know, I've heard their breakfast selection is actually very good. |
| 1:09.3 | I would love to eat there sometime. Maybe I'll |
| 1:11.3 | get to go to a WWDC or something. But I actually heard Johnny I've talked about watching pizzas |
| 1:17.9 | being cooked because you could see through a vent who are doing it. And I just love the detail |
| 1:22.2 | of that. So, yeah, let's pop over there. I'll take one of their pizza boxes home. |
| 1:29.0 | Okay, deal. |
| 1:30.8 | So, first off, there's been multiple large leaks this week, which are interesting. |
