| 0:07.8 | I'm your host, Wesley Hilliard, and I'm joined once again by William Gallagher. |
| 0:12.2 | It's WDC week. It's busy. You know what we're here to talk about. |
| 0:15.6 | There's so much to get through. |
| 0:16.9 | But first, I want to thank our sponsors, Nord Stellar and Inscribe, AI. And if you don't want to hear |
| 0:23.1 | about sponsors, we have Apple Insider Plus, which is where we're going to be discussing at length |
| 0:27.8 | how many machines William has accidentally installed the betas on. But stick around for that after the show. |
| 0:38.7 | Of course. |
