eD! Thomas: [00:00:00] So yeah, I li I I like I like that bag. You should you should get one. Then we can be bag buddies. We can walk around with our matching sacks.

Jeff Ritter: [00:00:05] I gotta look. Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:00:10] Sacks out. Yep.

eD! Thomas: [00:00:12] As we often do.

Music: [00:00:14] [Full theme music]

eD! Thomas: [00:00:49] Hey, welcome to the Nearly Coherent Podcast. I’m Ed and joining me the Dulcinea to my Don Quixote, or the Stanley Spadowski to my mop. That joke has a Venn diagram of people that know what the hell I’m talking about, and that in the center is me. It’s just

Jeff Ritter: [00:01:04] Yes it is. I’m on one part. Yeah. I don’t know the other part. That part I did know.

eD! Thomas: [00:01:09] The the Don Quixote part. Yeah, good. it’s my buddy Jeff. Jeff, how are you?

Jeff Ritter: [00:01:16] First of all, I’m fucking honored and thrilled that we’re here. I’m also hoping that some of the stuff that I said before was not on this record.

eD! Thomas: [00:01:27] Okay. All the parts about how you enjoy hand jobs. No, that’s fine. From me specifically.

Jeff Ritter: [00:01:34] I I I would also like to point out, and we may have to go you may have to go back to the archives for this one, but did we start the last podcast talking about hand jobs? I feel like we may very well have.

eD! Thomas: [00:01:47] We did, we did. We was talking about said hand jobs in a

Jeff Ritter: [00:01:52] Like a rubber tug, right? Talking about talking a little RT, a little flippin’ grip. Yeah, I thought so.

eD! Thomas: [00:02:01] We’re nothing if not consistent. We record at least one episode a year. Yeah. And that episode always starts to talk about old handourinos. In a car that is too damn hot, by the way.

Jeff Ritter: [00:02:03] I just gonna say

Jeff Ritter: [00:02:12] Yeah, yeah, that’s true. It is a little warm. It is a it is a tad warm.

eD! Thomas: [00:02:18] Man. When I found out I had more than one neurodivergent…

eD! Thomas: [00:02:22] thing. A lot of people were like, you didn’t know? I could have told you that. And I was like, thanks everybody.

Jeff Ritter: [00:02:28] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You paid someone to tell you that? Why didn’t you just ask me?

eD! Thomas: [00:02:33] Yeah. Yeah, wait. I I you you took you took several tests. My my guy. I’ve got it at the very I’ve got officially diagnosed ADHD. I don’t wanna get diagnosed with autism, but every test I’ve taken, I don’t test well except for autism tests. I test real well for those

Jeff Ritter: [00:02:37] Can I answer what you got got?

Jeff Ritter: [00:02:53] You knocked those audio tests out of the park.

eD! Thomas: [00:02:55] Right out of the park. Yeah, it’s it’s pretty good. It’s pretty good. And you’d I was sitting there being like, I don’t have anything that I hyper focus on like that. Like I don’t know anything to a degree that would seem like, you know, a a special interest and then I like, I I don’t know.

Jeff Ritter: [00:03:09] Called perseverating.

Jeff Ritter: [00:03:14] Focus, huh?

eD! Thomas: [00:03:15] Yeah, I like I hyper focus on stuff in an ADHD way, but it’s like I never I’ve never been like that into trains. By the way, I I think trains are kinda cool. but they’re not that cool. They’re not like worrying about it.

Jeff Ritter: [00:03:25] You’re not you don’t long term hyper focus.

eD! Thomas: [00:03:27] Except I do. Because this is our eleventh episode about Apple shit where I have more notes than I’ve ever taken in any class I’ve ever taken about this shit. Yeah. comedy. Comics. This is all the things that I I can recite off top yeah, I’ve got them. I’ve got it. Yeah. I got I got my friend Melissa got me a cool little sticker that’s a frog on a bicycle. It says it is what it is and it’s autism. And that one sits on my computer.

Jeff Ritter: [00:04:01] I kept looking at the Carvel sign and going like he can’t do chocolate and I believe he’s lactose intolerant. You’re not lactose intolerant.

eD! Thomas: [00:04:08] I’m not lactose intolerant. No. No, no, no, my sweet

Jeff Ritter: [00:04:14] I don’t know why I thought you were, but you are allergic to chocolate thousand percent. you know why I know that? Cause even to this day when I see like a candy bar or something that I like and they come out with a white chocolate version, my first two thoughts are ew. And but at least this wouldn’t

eD! Thomas: [00:04:17] I am that is that is correct. Yes.

Jeff Ritter: [00:04:43] Literally the only redeeming quality to white chocolate is that it won’t kill you. That is true. Otherwise a terrible substance. Now do you like white chocolate?

eD! Thomas: [00:04:54] it’s okay. It’s okay. Yeah. I don’t I don’t go out of my way to search for it, but certainly. but I I do have a bag of white chocolate Reese’s peanut butter cups in the back of my car at the moment.

Jeff Ritter: [00:05:07] Okay. Those are not bad. I I feel like most especially because you can’t have chocolate, that white chocolate has some redeeming. But like my littlest one likes white chocolate and we’re all like, You’re disgusting. You’re disgusting. We hate light chocolate in this family.

eD! Thomas: [00:05:28] That poor child. Yeah. She’s gonna be sent off to a boarding school. Yeah. Makes sense. Makes sense.

Jeff Ritter: [00:05:31] yeah. Boarding school. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:05:36] She’s she’s gonna take it over.

Jeff Ritter: [00:05:38] She’s the type of kid that would get lost on a hike and then come back like covered in pelts with like like an animal’s like blood like in tribal patterns across her face and stuff. She’d be okay. She’s a survivor.

eD! Thomas: [00:05:51] Yeah yeah yeah. Yeah, no I’ve I’ve always said that that child is essentially feral and will kill us all. Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:06:01] Yeah. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the movie I don’t know if you’ve ever seen the show Yellowstone. There’s a character on there, Rip. Rip is like a real badass. And for a while we were calling her Rip. And so one day we’re leaving a store and her sister walks out first and we’re like, wait, wait, wait. We wanna grab something and her sister didn’t hear us. So Reagan reaches out, grabs Juliana like a fistful of hair, screams, They don’t call me Rip for nothing, and yanks her by the hair back into the store. She is the worst. Yeah, so that’s what I deal with.

eD! Thomas: [00:06:41] man. That’s very, very chill. Very chill shit. Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:06:49] What’s on the docket?

eD! Thomas: [00:06:51] I just I just wanted to hang was this did something happen today? That you wanted to talk about?

Jeff Ritter: [00:06:57] I mean no. I’m just chill I don’t I’ve there’s any

eD! Thomas: [00:07:01] I know why we’re here. You wanna hear about some Apple shit?

Jeff Ritter: [00:07:05] I am excited to hear about some Apple shit. I I will stress, I’m more excited to be here.

eD! Thomas: [00:07:12] I am I am also more excited to be here.

Jeff Ritter: [00:07:14] But I we have not we have not seen each other. This has been probably the longest in twenty years. Yeah. That we haven’t seen each other.

eD! Thomas: [00:07:20] Yeah. It’s very upsetting. both from a content standpoint. Well and from a well listen, I get I I get I get messages from people being like, yo, when are you or Jeff hanging out again? And what they mean is when are you gonna put some sweet, sweet loving into my ears, you miserable piece of shit.

Jeff Ritter: [00:07:39] All right. Well you know, if the people are fucking asking for we’ll make an effort to do at least two of these a year.

eD! Thomas: [00:07:46] At minimum. At minimum too. you know, every six months we will get together. But I also I I I do I did miss you.

Jeff Ritter: [00:07:55] Absolutely. Likewise. And the truth is, we’ve there’s been countless times that we’ve hung out without fucking recording the whole thing. But even that we have not. And I I really do place the blame squarely on my children.

eD! Thomas: [00:08:06] No, we haven’t.

eD! Thomas: [00:08:11] You know, I’m gonna I’m gonna put it on two thirds of your children. Okay. Yeah. ‘Cause I can’t blame Juliana. Yeah. She’s great. She’s she’s

Jeff Ritter: [00:08:14] Okay. I think she’s perfect. She’s awesome. You’re right. I agree with with that. Good kid.

eD! Thomas: [00:08:23] you know, I would I would say that G would also be ki like have less blame, but he didn’t thank me in his post about getting into college.

Jeff Ritter: [00:08:31] So he’s also like he was like real busy. It is a lot his fault. It was a lot his fault. Listen.

eD! Thomas: [00:08:38] First of all, it’s it should be illegal that he’s getting accepted into a college. I remember this child being born. Yes. That’s nonsense.

Jeff Ritter: [00:08:46] You know what else is you know what else is is illegal or should be illegal? Well first of all beating your kids is illegal. That is true. But the fact that I don’t think that if I wanted to, I could with him. Yeah. I that’s that’s not

eD! Thomas: [00:08:59] Yeah. I I I I I gotta be honest, he would absolutely wreck you. Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:09:05] I don’t like the fact that I would get my ass kicked by someone that lives in the house that I own. That fucking really pisses me off.

eD! Thomas: [00:09:13] But you know what? He seems like such a sweetie pie that I don’t I don’t know that he’d do it. I don’t think he would come up to you and stab you unless if he needed to. Like if there was only one weapon one remaining pork chop, then I could say it. He doesn’t like pork chop.

Jeff Ritter: [00:09:16] No, he wouldn’t no no he wouldn’t do it. But he wouldn’t do it.

Jeff Ritter: [00:09:28] I’m in the clear, doesn’t even like him. Pork chops? No. Nope. Doesn’t like pork chops. So are you yes. you know what? I am sure you know why, and prepare yourself. I don’t like pork chops.

eD! Thomas: [00:09:35] I’m sure he’s yours. Yep.

eD! Thomas: [00:09:41] Really?

Jeff Ritter: [00:09:43] This my my as a kid, my mom there’s two things pork chops and I f they were always my mom’s an excellent cook. I just didn’t like the way she made the fucking pork chops. Okay. And meatloaf. These were two dishes that my father loved that I didn’t like and that we’d have to eat because my dad liked them and s they they turned me off to them so bad. And meatloaf is a crazy one. Yeah. Because people are constantly like, I make the best meatloaf. You allow to try it. And I’m no, I don’t like meatloaf. And like, yeah, but mine is is yours meatloaf? Yes. I don’t fucking like it. I don’t like meatloaf. I don’t like it with bacon on it. I don’t like it with ketchup on it. I don’t like the fucking singer. I don’t want to get dashboard lights. I fucking don’t like anything meatloaf. Nothing. And people constantly try to get me to try meatloaf. I don’t get it. I don’t get it. But because it’s meatloaf, it’s okay. But if it was meth or heroin. People would be like, stop trying to get this guy to try it. Well, it’s the same thing with meatloaf. I fucking want it. Like, leave me alone. I don’t know. Bad ad bad analogy.

eD! Thomas: [00:10:48] No, I think it’s actually a great analogy and also now I’m just considering the idea of methloaf.

Jeff Ritter: [00:10:54] Honestly?

eD! Thomas: [00:10:56] I’ve heard worse love. I’ve heard worse ideas.

Jeff Ritter: [00:10:59] Meatloaf is a worse idea. I would rather have to do methloaf than meatloaf.

eD! Thomas: [00:11:05] Okay. Yeah. Alright, that’s fair.

eD! Thomas: [00:11:07] Hey, you wanna talk about some Apple stuff?

Jeff Ritter: [00:11:10] Sure. You know I did. Knew that answer.

eD! Thomas: [00:11:12] Yeah. I listen. Listen. I knew and I knew that that would be the easiest way to get you out. It’s either that or offering to let you stare at a statue of a giant horse cock. And we’re doing both right now. So that’s kind of helpful. It’s really cool. The people that are listening are gonna have no context for that, and that’s how I plan on keeping it. Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:11:30] Yeah, we do.

Jeff Ritter: [00:11:36] Well, they don’t know anything about horsecock man, so that’s not gonna help them figure it out either. Nope.

eD! Thomas: [00:11:40] And I look forward to my next call with Sarah when she brings this up and I’m just gonna look at her and go like sorry, bud. That’s between me, Jeff, and the horse copy.

Jeff Ritter: [00:11:51] Had to be there, Sarah. Tough break. Keep your chin up, kid.

eD! Thomas: [00:11:58] so I’m gonna I’m gonna do this in order of things you’re gonna be most excited about down, I think.

Jeff Ritter: [00:12:05] Yeah, I like I like that. I did it about down, huh? Mm-hmm. Okay. That’s interesting. Yeah. We usually build up.

eD! Thomas: [00:12:07] Mostly.

eD! Thomas: [00:12:14] We do, but I think the thing that you’re least excited about is going to be the thing that we’re going to spend the most time on.

Jeff Ritter: [00:12:24] I’m very interested.

eD! Thomas: [00:12:26] Let’s let’s get to it. All right, so we’re gonna talk about the iT iPhone eighteen pro and iPhone eighteen pro max. Still, by the way, worst name combination.

Jeff Ritter: [00:12:28] Let’s let’s do it.

Jeff Ritter: [00:12:35] I gotta tell

Jeff Ritter: [00:12:39] Yes, totally. I and I I will say this. I’m in I’m already impressed. Already impressed.

eD! Thomas: [00:12:45] Go ahead. Bye. Make me feel good. Make my nipples hard.

Jeff Ritter: [00:12:50] That is the thing that I’m sure that I’m most excited about. Yeah. That’s the thing I’m most excited about.

eD! Thomas: [00:12:57] Well well let’s let’s gibber jabber about it. Alright? hey, cameras getting better. You’ll never believe it. It’s not like this is every year they’re like, hey, here’s a camera. It’s better than the last one. And then I’m like, this is the one that’s gonna turn me into a photographer, and then I’m gonna use Instagram more, and then I’m gonna finally change my username on Instagram to Ed equals awesome so that I can have everything be that and the but then I forget.

Jeff Ritter: [00:13:00] Shall we?

Jeff Ritter: [00:13:25] Yeah, that’s a lot. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:13:26] That is a lot. Do you think I should change my Instagram username? Yes. All right. We’re gonna do that before you go home. Go ahead.

Jeff Ritter: [00:13:31] Let me ask you a question. We’re gonna talk about the cameras, but but but you’re right. Every year the camera is gonna be quote unquote better. My experience is that it typically is, but sometimes slightly, sometimes a lot. What would you say this is? Is this a

eD! Thomas: [00:13:50] Yes. I think this is a lot.

Jeff Ritter: [00:13:56] Like an evolutionary jump. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:13:57] And I’ll tell you why. Okay. So the iPhone 17 already had a 48 megapixel camera. Great, wonderful, beautiful. What this brings to the party, first of all, it’s gonna have faster night capture because it’s got you can pull in fifty percent more light, because it has a adjustable aperture.

Jeff Ritter: [00:14:14] that’s good.

Jeff Ritter: [00:14:19] Mm.

eD! Thomas: [00:14:21] Do you know what that means? Because I had to look it up.

Jeff Ritter: [00:14:22] That’s I Okay. So I I think I do, but at the risk of sounding like a moron and wasting time, you just let

eD! Thomas: [00:14:29] Okay. You know how your pupil gets smaller when more light shines into it and bigger? It does that. But for the camera, there’s actually six little pieces of metal that will adjust around the camera lens to change how much light is coming in.

Jeff Ritter: [00:14:45] I would not have gotten that right and I am not too proud to admit it. Good.

eD! Thomas: [00:14:50] I I kinda knew what it was. I took an entire college course on digital photography. yeah. I should be much

Jeff Ritter: [00:14:55] You should definitely be more upset that you didn’t know it than I am that I didn’t know.

eD! Thomas: [00:15:00] I I I knew what it was, I just don’t know how to use it properly, is my problem.

Jeff Ritter: [00:15:05] Gotcha. I will tell you this. Which is never forget what it is now.

eD! Thomas: [00:15:08] Which is a problem that I have with a lot of things. that I know what it is, but I don’t know how to use it properly. It’s why I don’t live there. so so the variable aperture is going to let you get a lot more like specific bokeh effects. It’s going to get you much prettier pictures. also you’re getting a more advanced camera app in this one. There’s like pro camera s

Jeff Ritter: [00:15:13] Horse cock management.

Jeff Ritter: [00:15:38] Holy shit.

eD! Thomas: [00:15:39] so the the big hullabaloo over the past year, there’s a camera app called Halide that’s really, really good. one of the two developers of Halide left the company and w started working for Apple and they got mad about it and they’re like, You stealing our and it looks like they kind of did. listen, it happens to the best of us.

Jeff Ritter: [00:15:46] Okay.

Jeff Ritter: [00:15:56] And

Jeff Ritter: [00:16:03] They should have sold to Apple. They should’ve they wouldn’t have been asked out like they are now.

eD! Thomas: [00:16:07] Yeah, but you know, they didn’t. and I understand having like principles, but not not when that many millions of dollars is probably on the line.

Jeff Ritter: [00:16:18] Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:16:20] There there’s there’s a line. I I’m I don’t I’m not proud to say that I’m for sale, but I am.

eD! Thomas: [00:16:25] so that that’s the big camera shiz is this variable aperture. Also, in good news, that’s not just a max thing. It is on both of them.

Jeff Ritter: [00:16:34] That’s that’s very good. Do you happen to know what the zooms are? They have the telephoto lens?

eD! Thomas: [00:16:40] They do. They do have the telephoto lens. I believe it’s the same Zooms. But let me double check that for you.

Jeff Ritter: [00:16:47] ‘Cause it’s it’s good. I I would l I I I s wish we had a little more. That’s okay. It’s gonna be what it’s gonna be.

eD! Thomas: [00:16:52] Little I don’t think you’re getting any more.

eD! Thomas: [00:16:56] So, yes, zoom-wise, I believe this is the same as the 17. It can go up to 16x optical quality zoom range. eight times zoom in and two times zoom out, which I believe is the same as it was for you. Yeah. It can also do 4k at 120 or 60 frames per second, so you can get some nice slow-mo shots of

Jeff Ritter: [00:17:13] That sounds about right.

eD! Thomas: [00:17:24] Eating mashed potatoes. And it’s got four microphones, studio quality microphones. So I won’t use those. So that’s good. Still gonna bring my own, you silly sluts. it is also going to have in the way of a chip. You’re gonna be shocked to hear from the A19. We’ve gone to the A20.

Jeff Ritter: [00:17:38] Yeah. No need for those.

Jeff Ritter: [00:17:51] I I could have predicted that one. You could have guessed it.

eD! Thomas: [00:17:53] You could have. You could I wish you had. it is going to be twenty percent faster than the A19 Pro. it’s got a faster GPU that is forty percent faster. Two times the AI processing power. Hey, you know what was a fun little tidbit that they’ve shared during this thing? That there’s I think two point five billion Siri requests a day, which makes sense, says you have to ask it to do everything twice. So that helps inflate the numbers.

Jeff Ritter: [00:18:21] Can I answer something? You can. Does a request count when I tell it to shut the fuck up because it answered because I said sorry? Counts. That’s they’re padding their stats.

eD! Thomas: [00:18:28] Yes. Okay. Yes, that does count. They are, yeah. And listen, honestly, I can’t blame If if if if my job wa had some form of status to it, I’m sure I’d pad

Jeff Ritter: [00:18:40] I would do it. Absolutely. I don’t. Of course I don’t. Somebody that might get But I I

eD! Thomas: [00:18:44] Yeah, no no no. If HR is listening, I do not. I never would. because that’s just rude. Yep. it’s got fifty percent more memory bandwidth, so if you are playing some crazy game on it, first of all, why? But second of all, it’s fine. You can do it, I guess. Yeah. If you if you want.

Jeff Ritter: [00:19:05] Does that include paper IO2?

eD! Thomas: [00:19:10] No, that one’s that one’s still that one’s still cocked. Cocked is what I think I just said.

Jeff Ritter: [00:19:14] And you did say cocked. Yeah. You did say cocked. Yeah. Is it cocked? It’s

eD! Thomas: [00:19:19] Always cocked constantly. That’s where we live now.

eD! Thomas: [00:19:23] so battery wise, you’re looking at according to them, thirty-six hours of video playback on the regular pro, and up to forty-five hours of video playback on the eighteen pro max, which is an improvement from the seventeen pro max, but given that my seventeen pro max’s battery has been, and I hope I’m using this term correctly, dog shit, anything will be an improvement.

Jeff Ritter: [00:19:49] Can we I I I’m calling tangent here. Go ahead and get into that 17 Pro Dog shit battery. Yeah. Is it just yours? Yes. Because I I genuinely don’t have complaints about

eD! Thomas: [00:19:53] Okay, please. Yeah, it’s been rough.

eD! Thomas: [00:20:02] It is just mine. Really? Is I’m the only person I’ve found that has had this problem where my battery like I wake up, I take it off the charger, I check the weather, and it’s already down a percentage point.

Jeff Ritter: [00:20:14] That’s wild. Yeah. That’s a shitty battery. It is shitty battery. And that’s on the Pro Mac.

eD! Thomas: [00:20:18] As on the Pro Max, I get no battery life whatsoever. That’s it’s

Jeff Ritter: [00:20:24] Well listen, listen. It’s coming to an end. It is. Tough it out.

eD! Thomas: [00:20:28] Which what upsets me though is I’ve been betrayed by the orange phone.

Jeff Ritter: [00:20:33] That’s true. Your first orange phone and it’s your worst one.

eD! Thomas: [00:20:36] It’s actually not my worst one. The fifteen was the worst battery life. But

Jeff Ritter: [00:20:40] Okay. Well that’s good. Yeah. Second worst. Yeah. It hurts the most.

eD! Thomas: [00:20:44] It hurts the most. Yeah. It feels like the biggest betrayal. Yeah. in exciting news though, if this should happen again to me, you can get up to fifty percent battery in fifteen minutes using a wired charger that’s connected to a sixty watt com brick, which is all the bricks I have. That is very, very, very fast. Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:20:47] Yes.

Jeff Ritter: [00:21:06] That’s crazy. I’ve got a hundred water. That’ll really charge the shit sixty.

eD! Thomas: [00:21:13] Get out of it. It’ll cap itself at sixty. Yeah. if you want to do it wirelessly through MagSafe, that will take double the time to get to fifty percent, but that’s still thirty minutes to get to fifty percent, that’s nothing.

Jeff Ritter: [00:21:26] That’s that’s nothing. That’s cra It makes me almost want to get my kids that because they never charge their fucking battery. And then they go out, they go to school, and I five minutes after they leave I get, you know, always that five percent battery. And where’s his battery pack? It’s in his room. Of course. You know, char that’s been charging for eight days.

eD! Thomas: [00:21:29] Absolutely nothing.

eD! Thomas: [00:21:50] Which which is great for battery health, by the way.

Jeff Ritter: [00:21:52] It’s it’s that’s been charging forever. That’s at that’s at one million percent until it explodes five minutes later. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:21:59] Starts a small house fire. It’s fine. It’s fine. so battery battery looks like it’s gonna be better, so your kids will be happy there. maybe. If you’re gonna buy them all fine, that seems not gonna do Seems weird, but that’s that’s kind of the attitude I’d have had. Yeah. I gotta be honest with you. hey, hey, you wanna hear the most exciting change for you? The dynamic island can now show three activities instead of just two.

Jeff Ritter: [00:22:24] Mm-hmm. Let me ask you something. Did they fix it where I can fucking get back to my phone app without having a crack like a code like I’m getting into a safe? Ugh, it kills me.

eD! Thomas: [00:22:36] No no no that’s a feature. What what what are you talking about?

Jeff Ritter: [00:22:42] When I have when you have the phone, right, and the phone like your call is up here in the dynamic island. Yeah. Can’t get back to it. Really? I wanna be able to fucking tap that bad boy and get back to my phone and it doesn’t do it on my phone.

eD! Thomas: [00:22:56] I gotta be honest with you, I’ve never had that problem. I guess you got the shitty dynamic island and I got the shitty battery. And now now we’ll be fixed. Yeah. Here’s hoping. the chip, I already gave you the thing, but it’s got you know the vapor chamber for cooling? Vapor chamber is now two times I’m sorry, much larger, which gives two times better sustained performance.

Jeff Ritter: [00:23:01] Maybe that’s what it is. All our problems are a thing in the past.

Jeff Ritter: [00:23:25] Sorry, I can’t help but thinking that I wanna be rich enough w one day that I could have a room in my house that you just go into fart, and it’s called the Vapor Chamber. But back to the phones.

eD! Thomas: [00:23:38] I mean that seems like the dream for Horsecock Manor. Let’s do it. let’s talk a little colors. Are you ready are you ready to be excited? No. For one of them I’m excited.

Jeff Ritter: [00:23:41] Hoshcock Manor has to have a vapor chamber.

Jeff Ritter: [00:23:47] Really? Am I? Not excited. Okay. All right. Purple?

eD! Thomas: [00:23:54] Burgundy, actually. Yeah. Burg Burgundy’s in a top five color spot for me.

Jeff Ritter: [00:23:56] Really?

Jeff Ritter: [00:24:01] Old Ron himself. Burgundy. Yeah. That’s an interesting. That’s very interesting.

eD! Thomas: [00:24:02] Mm-hmm. It’s a it’s a very pretty color. Yeah. Okay. If I’m gonna have to give up orange. I I would have preferred it to be purple, but I’ll I’ll accept burgundy. But you’ve never burgundy. I’ve never had a burgundy either. then you have Glacier, which seems to be the palest blue of all time.

Jeff Ritter: [00:24:15] Never had a burgundy.

Jeff Ritter: [00:24:21] I was gonna say, yeah, that’s gotta be that’s gotta be their new bullshit name for off-white. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:24:29] Well, there’s also silver, which is another name for off-white. And then incredibly off-white, there’s black.

Jeff Ritter: [00:24:36] I wish that they would call their black really off-white. That would be fucking awesome.

eD! Thomas: [00:24:44] It would be hilarious. They’re never gonna tell me they should. It’s just called black. Okay. Yeah. No problem. Yeah, it’s it’s not like space taint or anything like that.

Jeff Ritter: [00:24:47] What’s the black called? Is it just thank God?

Jeff Ritter: [00:24:55] Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:24:57] Galactus’s butthole.

Jeff Ritter: [00:24:58] Yeah, I was just gonna say Deep Anus Black or something like that.

eD! Thomas: [00:25:03] you can pre-order this starting Saturday on September twelfth and it will be available in store or on your doorstep if you’ve ordered it in time on September eighteenth.

Jeff Ritter: [00:25:13] Really? Saturday. Mm-hmm. Isn’t that a day later than normal? Isn’t it usually

eD! Thomas: [00:25:17] Is usually the announcements are on Tuesdays. Got it. So because it came out on a Wednesday, we’re pushing it all up a day the the week that this is happening. let me tell you one other thing that I’m excited about with the camera. There’s gonna be grain control. So you know how you get like those videos where people look like they’re being shot on film ’cause there’s grain in it? Yeah, you’re gonna be able to do that shit on your phone without without crazy apps. Me too.

Jeff Ritter: [00:25:37] Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:25:41] stuff.

eD! Thomas: [00:25:45] Me too. I’m very excited about that.

Jeff Ritter: [00:25:47] I’m gonna be a regular cinematographer with this big

eD! Thomas: [00:25:50] You find me on Instagram at ed equals awesome after this is recorded. You’re gonna see so many food landscape and dog pictures with just grain all over all over this bitch.

Jeff Ritter: [00:25:59] It’s gonna be amazing. It’s gonna you get some meta ones, get grainy photos of grains. yeah, yeah, yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:26:06] yeah. Get s get some rice.

Jeff Ritter: [00:26:11] Quinoa. Yeah. We could go on.

eD! Thomas: [00:26:14] We could. We could and I think we should. we need some rye.

Jeff Ritter: [00:26:17] Borrow. All right.

eD! Thomas: [00:26:23] Yeah. Yeah, probably. Probably. But like, you know, th there’s there’s an ancient grain which by the way I prefer I prefer my grains to be a little newer.

Jeff Ritter: [00:26:28] Yes, this is this is true.

Jeff Ritter: [00:26:34] Yeah, I don’t know if I want ancient grains. It’s not a it doesn’t sound advertising.

eD! Thomas: [00:26:38] No. It’s like it’s like when somebody’s like, do you want some sour cream? No, that’s exactly the type of cream I don’t want.

Jeff Ritter: [00:26:43] You lunar.

eD! Thomas: [00:26:46] Yeah, that’s why you keep it in the refrigerator, you shithead. I know you do, but you know who doesn’t? I can’t do it. Makes makes me freak out.

Jeff Ritter: [00:26:48] I do love sour. Well. That’s you know, that’s funny, Juliana doesn’t like sour cream either.

eD! Thomas: [00:26:59] Another another reason why she is my favorite of your children. Hey, let’s talk a little bit about Apple Watch. Let’s do it. All right. So here’s the thing. You know about all this AI that’s happening in this world and how

Jeff Ritter: [00:27:05] Shall we?

Jeff Ritter: [00:27:13] Haven’t heard of it.

eD! Thomas: [00:27:15] Well, there there’s these robots you see. And they they they they they take all your RAM chips and they shove right up their buttholes. And that has made that has now made RAM and storage very expensive. So everything else has increased in price. The the phone itself is incre the phones have increased by one hundred dollars at the base end, up to I think it was three hundred dollars for the one terabyte Pro Max, which good good good good for me. love that for my life.

Jeff Ritter: [00:27:22] That’s how I know.

eD! Thomas: [00:27:45] So I was going on about how all the everything’s gonna go up in price. Apple a couple months ago pushed two to three hundred dollar things on all the computers. RAM upgrades doubled three days before I was due for my new work computer. Of course. which was really cool because I was the one that was responsible for paying for the RAM I wanted, ’cause it’s not within our policy. And then it was like, here’s here pay four hundred dollars for it now. And it was like Thank thanks, Tim.

Jeff Ritter: [00:28:13] Dick.

eD! Thomas: [00:28:15] And then then he called me a big dumb ho and left the building.

Jeff Ritter: [00:28:19] I heard you he r he’s stepping down because he heard you were upset with him. Yeah. He knew. He got the message.

eD! Thomas: [00:28:23] He I I said, no, no, Cookie Monster. How dare you? This is the line that you’ve inconvenienced me. so the other so a week ago, I’m figuring all the Apple Watches, because the only things that didn’t get a price raised were the Apple Watches and the iPhones. And I figured that was because the next generation was going to have a $100 to $200 price increase. So I take my parents.

Jeff Ritter: [00:28:47] And

eD! Thomas: [00:28:50] The Apple store, and I go in there and they’re hey, you know, a new one’s coming next week. I was like, I know it’s gonna be more expensive. I don’t want that. Let’s get them the series three. Seemed to be all the rumors were basically saying that it’s gonna be the same damn watch, so who gives a shit? They get to the thing today. Do you know what comes in at the same goddamn price? New watch!

Jeff Ritter: [00:29:10] The new one. The new How long ago did you get it?

eD! Thomas: [00:29:14] A week ago. Here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. I don’t think I’m gonna do that. And you wanna know why? Because well let’s let’s go through the you guys the series twelves come in gray, black, light gold, and dark bronze, which does look kind of cool for three ninety nine. six ninety nine, you can get natural and gold titanium. and then they brought back the ceramic ones starting at eight ninety nine.

Jeff Ritter: [00:29:21] I do.

Jeff Ritter: [00:29:33] I thought that’s sound cool.

Jeff Ritter: [00:29:39] No.

eD! Thomas: [00:29:45] And then the Ultra Four is $799, black or natural titanium, same thing. And now I was reading earlier about the differences between these watches and the previous generation. And the big thing is that these ones will have what’s called audio intelligence, which it does sound recognition. So like now your phone, if it hears an alarm, you can set it off to be like, hey, if there’s a fire alarm, like let me know, because I’m not paying attention and it’ll go off. It’ll tell you. That’s great. It also has what they’re calling live rewind. So as you’re talking, it’s listening. And you can go back 15 seconds if you like zoned out and were thinking about horse dicks. And you need to hear what was going on. yeah, don’t don’t care for that. And then there’s also Siri Recap, which is listening and taking notes on all your things and saving those notes to Siri. All the audio is being jettisoned away, but it’s doing a lot of listening to your things.

Jeff Ritter: [00:30:24] Hmm. I don’t know if I like that.

Jeff Ritter: [00:30:43] I don’t like any of

eD! Thomas: [00:30:44] I don’t care for I don’t care for any of that. Creepy as hell. it does have better health sensors instead of it being what they call two pedals, I believe it was, which is just like that. it’s gonna be a bunch of them, so there’s a lot more sensors. So like it can do background heart rate readings every five seconds instead of every twenty seconds. Shit like that. here’s the thing. Other than that, there is literally no difference.

Jeff Ritter: [00:31:12] So screens are the same size.

eD! Thomas: [00:31:14] Is the same. Connections are the same. Is the exact same shit. I was going through the entire list with that’s on the verge and I was like, nothing here. Alright, nothing here. So they just saved me

Jeff Ritter: [00:31:29] There is nothing there. I was just gonna say that. Thank you for saving me eight hundred bucks. Got it. Nine hundred bucks, whatever it is with tax.

eD! Thomas: [00:31:43] Yeah, it’s g i and it’s gonna be nine hundred bucks with tax. Yeah, let me tell ya. I I have a conspiracy theory. Right. Remember there was a couple of years where they would like change the number of the Apple Watch chip but nothing actually changed. And it was just like the board itself had to change. I think that’s what they did again this year. I think that they have enough of this chip being produced, they’re just like, let’s just change the board a little bit so we have all these creepy ass

Jeff Ritter: [00:31:47] Christ. Yeah, let me hear it.

Jeff Ritter: [00:32:03] Okay.

eD! Thomas: [00:32:13] features and we’ll do do the better sensors, sure, whatever. but we’re going to just do the same thing and we’re just gonna hold on.

Jeff Ritter: [00:32:20] Okay. Don’t like it. Dick move, by the way.

eD! Thomas: [00:32:23] Don’t care for it. Very dick move. Very dick move. Let’s talk about some AirPods.

eD! Thomas: [00:32:33] It’s the AirPods 5. Not the pros. Not the pros. Now you have noise canceling on all models of AirPods. Active noise canceling. It’s pretty good. those start at 129. That’s not bad at all. If you jump up to the higher level, they have the thing where you can change the volume on the stem. That’s in the upgraded ones. And that comes with a wireless case. You can plug it in with your watch charger.

Jeff Ritter: [00:32:35] Okay, so it’s the not the pros.

Jeff Ritter: [00:32:43] Okay.

Jeff Ritter: [00:32:49] Bad.

eD! Thomas: [00:33:02] like you do with the AirPods Pro. That their their upgraded regular AirPods used to be one seventy nine. Those are one forty nine. That’s a that’s a savings of thirty dollars.

Jeff Ritter: [00:33:10] Hey.

Jeff Ritter: [00:33:14] My wallet a break.

eD! Thomas: [00:33:16] by the way, I’m just gonna throw out that with the Apple Watch and the AirPods. you’re gonna be shocked to know that you can pre-order the watch on the twelfth and the AirPods now, and they will be arriving September eighteenth. Same as the phone.

Jeff Ritter: [00:33:29] Okay. So you can just get all your shit in one day.

eD! Thomas: [00:33:33] can just piss off DHL all day. So we’re coming up to the end. Coming up the end here. They pull one more thing. I’m gonna turn on the air conditioner real quick because I am getting sweet.

Jeff Ritter: [00:33:35] I like that.

Jeff Ritter: [00:33:49] I’m sweaty I am roasting. Yeah. My legs are sweating. If I

eD! Thomas: [00:33:53] I still had as much move as I did previously.

Jeff Ritter: [00:33:58] That’s true. There there’s a good hundred and twenty pounds missing between the two of us in this card. This would have been f this would’ve been real bad. This could have been real bad.

eD! Thomas: [00:34:07] It’s gonna be real dark. I you know what, I’m gonna presume that the audio is fine. Should we just presume the audio is fine? Y alright. So as you know, there’s been a very long time where they were talking about a folding iPhone. And what you wanted so badly that you you called me repeatedly at three o’clock in the morning, being like, I need this and I was like, Dude, we both have work tomorrow. What are you doing? And you’re like, I need it and I’m like, Alright. Was one that folds like

Jeff Ritter: [00:34:29] So bad. So badly.

eD! Thomas: [00:34:46] Like take a regular iPhone, fold it in half, top down, like a Motorola razor. That’s what you wanted.

Jeff Ritter: [00:34:50] Yes. I actually referred to it as one time I want the Pro Max edition. Like that’s that’s what I’m looking for, you know? It’d be perfect.

eD! Thomas: [00:34:59] StarTAC.

eD! Thomas: [00:35:03] That would be that would be delightful. Yeah, because I mean like you know what I miss hanging up on people when I’m mad?

Jeff Ritter: [00:35:11] Yeah. Motherfucker Exactly. Except I would probably crack the skew.

eD! Thomas: [00:35:13] Exactly.

Jeff Ritter: [00:35:19] Bumper on my dynamic island. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:35:22] well I’ve got bad news for you. That’s not what we got.

Jeff Ritter: [00:35:25] That’s it’s unfucking it’s unfucking believable.

eD! Thomas: [00:35:29] We got a passport folding one. Now here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. they’re sitting there doing the reveal of this. It’s it’s when it’s unfolded, it’s like a 7.6 inch super retina XDR display with nanotexture underneath so that it doesn’t like get too reflective because there’s so many layers of glass between it, which sounds great. It looks so cool, unfolded. it under the display of the unfolded one, they have the FaceTime camera. It only appears when you’re doing FaceTime. Cool. Yeah, that’s pretty great. And then you close it, and half of it is a rounded square, and then it comes back to being this dumb, fugly ass rectangle on the other side.

Jeff Ritter: [00:36:10] That is very cool.

eD! Thomas: [00:36:27] And the face I made when they did that was exactly hang on, hang on, I’m just gonna show ya because I took a picture of it as it was happening, as I was talking to people.

Jeff Ritter: [00:36:43] You were talking to people, yep. That’s

eD! Thomas: [00:36:46] That’s the face I made. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It’s a re it’s a real like

Jeff Ritter: [00:36:49] An e gad face. Yeah, that’s a bad face.

eD! Thomas: [00:36:55] boy, who chose that one?

Jeff Ritter: [00:36:57] So all right, so so what you’re saying is this folds and along the folding axis it’s straight. But on the other side the corners are rounded. That is fucking dumb.

eD! Thomas: [00:37:06] Flat like your butt.

eD! Thomas: [00:37:12] Like your tummy. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:37:18] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I don’t care for it. the screen is fifty percent larger when it’s unfolded than the eighteen pro max. So that’s that’s kinda cool. It’s in a it’s in a ratio that kind of like looks like an IMAX screen. So you could finally watch IMAX shot movies on your phone, and I guess Christopher Nolan can stop whining about it. they did have to move stuff around, obviously, to

Jeff Ritter: [00:37:44] You just said I Macs like the camera and in my head, yeah, I heard I Mac like the colorful computer and I was like, That’s an that’s an interesting reference. Yes, no, I I get it now. I it took me a little bit to catch up. Took me a little bit to catch up, but I did. The Nolan reference helped.

eD! Thomas: [00:37:55] That’s not the one I’m

eD! Thomas: [00:38:03] Got there and I’m proud of you for it. That’s you know what? I’m glad thank for that.

Jeff Ritter: [00:38:08] Thank you for that. I would have been wondering what the fuck you were talking about for the rest of

eD! Thomas: [00:38:12] You f for the re listen, let’s be honest here. There’s gonna be times that you’re gonna be questioning what I’m talking about for the rest of our lives. So let this let this be the biggest one.

Jeff Ritter: [00:38:22] Yeah, it’s true.

eD! Thomas: [00:38:23] so because obviously the thing is, you know, foldable, they had to move stuff around so the dock sits on the right side. They’ve combined the battery indicator, the signal indicator, and the volume indicator all into one thing, which actually kinda looked kinda cool, but also seems like it’s gonna be real hard to parse if you’re looking at it real quick. I wouldn’t know what I’m

Jeff Ritter: [00:38:48] Yeah, I wouldn’t know w what the f I’m doing. Is my battery dead or do I not have Wi-Fi? Like it’s interesting.

eD! Thomas: [00:38:54] That’s that’s the problem. it’s also reachable on the right side, which kind of means if you’re a lefty, you can eat shit, I suppose. weird. although like they talk about how it can be rotated into any sort of position. So I guess you could flip it around, but then the cameras are gonna be on the weird side and then it seems seems stupid. Speaking of cameras, it has two.

Jeff Ritter: [00:39:03] Yeah, no, that’s that’s true.

Jeff Ritter: [00:39:17] Fine.

eD! Thomas: [00:39:21] of them as opposed to the three that are on the pro. What? Yep. if it’s but they’re it’s a forty-eight megapixel main camera, just like the pro camera, except for the fact that it doesn’t have any of that aperture stuff in it. Which kind of makes it sound like it’s more like the camera on the seventeen. So cool. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. hey, you know what it doesn’t have? Face ID. There

Jeff Ritter: [00:39:35] Okay.

eD! Thomas: [00:39:50] They were like, Hey, you know what’s gonna be more convenient? Putting touch ID on the power button.

Jeff Ritter: [00:39:55] Huh.

eD! Thomas: [00:39:57] So they did that, which I I get because this thing is already like two thousand dollars. you know, if you add it in the FaceTime ca the the the face ID camera, that’s gonna be another seventy five million dollars. Yes. So we gotta save our money somewhere.

Jeff Ritter: [00:40:15] Gotta gotta scrimp where we can, yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:40:17] Yeah. and one thing I know that you had mentioned in our texting that you thought that they were gonna leave out was MagSafe and they did not. MagSafe is there, okay, but not for wallets because it’s too small to put a MagSafe wallet on.

Jeff Ritter: [00:40:34] But okay.

eD! Thomas: [00:40:36] Mag safe charging is fine.

Jeff Ritter: [00:40:38] Do you can you charge it on a MagSafe? Like I’ve got a I don’t even remember which brand I have. I think I have an anchor MagSafe, like three in one charger. Yes. Would I be able to have it opened and ha and on the MagSafe charger to watch on the big screen? Because like my MagSafe charger, I put my phone on right next to my bed and I can watch, can watch almost always complete fucking nonsense while I’m going to sleep. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:41:01] Yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:41:08] I wonder if I can do that. You know what? I’m gonna go as far as to say, I don’t give a fuck because I’m not gonna buy this fucking phone.

eD! Thomas: [00:41:16] Yeah, me neither. Me neither. And I ca I came into this thinking I was gonna get both phones this year, by the way.

Jeff Ritter: [00:41:22] That would have been you’ve you’ve done some wild, you’ve made some wild purchases with Apple buying buying both of those phones with almost no reason. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So with this piece of shit unfolded, yeah. In relation what would you say the iPad mini? Screen, right? Yeah, but a different but a different ratio.

eD! Thomas: [00:41:24] I’ve done some real dumb shit.

eD! Thomas: [00:41:35] Yeah, it would have been it would’ve been real ballsy.

eD! Thomas: [00:41:45] About that size? Yeah, they’re about Spect ratio, yeah.

Jeff Ritter: [00:41:52] So then even wat like if you’re gonna watch something, you can’t watch in the right aspect ratio.

eD! Thomas: [00:41:56] You can though, because the aspect ratio is if you remember from the iPad mini and basically all iPads, they still have letter boxing on the top and the bottom. They do. This doesn’t require that because it’s in a s cinematic it’s different than sixteen by nine. It’s like

Jeff Ritter: [00:42:10] Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:42:17] one point three four to something else, I think it was. Okay.

Jeff Ritter: [00:42:20] That’s pretty close to that’s pretty close to four three ratio. Interesting. So I can watch Seinfeld. You could. Excellent. I actually love that show.

eD! Thomas: [00:42:24] It’s closer to four.

eD! Thomas: [00:42:31] I think it’s fine.

eD! Thomas: [00:42:39] yeah, so that’s that’s all that. And then the thing that they did announce is that if you didn’t buy an iPhone yet, all of the iPhones just got a hundred dollar price increase. So

Jeff Ritter: [00:42:49] You shit. Boom. So w one more thing about the this f iPad floppy fuck, whatever the fuck it’s called. What are they calling it?

eD! Thomas: [00:43:00] The iPad the i iPhone duo.

Jeff Ritter: [00:43:03] Stupid. Even the name is fucking stupid.

eD! Thomas: [00:43:06] I like it better than the iPhone Ultra.

Jeff Ritter: [00:43:10] yes. I also don’t like Pro Max. So

eD! Thomas: [00:43:12] No. Did I tell you that I built a WordPress plugin that I’ve called the the Awesome Code Snippets Pro Max?

Jeff Ritter: [00:43:20] See that I like. Because there’s irony.

eD! Thomas: [00:43:23] The the tagline being if Apple can name things stupidly, so can I.

Jeff Ritter: [00:43:27] Yeah. Yeah, but I but you’ve got the irony there. Yeah. And that makes it worth it. you said two cameras. So it doesn’t have the telephoto.

eD! Thomas: [00:43:34] I did. It has the wide and the regular.

Jeff Ritter: [00:43:39] So thank you for sealing that deal from me. 100% will not be buying this fucking fuck.

eD! Thomas: [00:43:46] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, me neither. which is probably better for my incredibly low bank balance, but you know, upsetting from a I wanted a new form factor.

Jeff Ritter: [00:43:59] I really do want that. I that I that I will say. That I will say. If this son of a bitch startacked, I would be considered

eD! Thomas: [00:44:08] It wouldn’t have even been a question. It could it could have had no cameras on it and I’d have still bought it. Just because of the every time I get would you like a loan? No click. Nope.

Jeff Ritter: [00:44:21] That’s that is this is

eD! Thomas: [00:44:23] Just give me forty thousand dollars for free.

Jeff Ritter: [00:44:26] This is disheartening news, friend.

eD! Thomas: [00:44:29] Yeah, I’m s I’m sorry to be the one that has to bear it to you. I do

Jeff Ritter: [00:44:32] I truly don’t mind the form factor, you know, and and carrying I have the iPhone Pro. I have the right now I have the 17 Pro. I have no problem with that. I enjoy carrying it. I would have loved to be able to get something that was like like I said, the the max, maybe even a little slightly bigger and have that shit fold in half. Oof. Put that in my pocket, no screen protector needed. Would’ve been beautiful. Could have been beautiful.

eD! Thomas: [00:45:06] that one by the way, you’re gonna be shocked at the date that it’s coming out.

Jeff Ritter: [00:45:23] That’s cool.

Jeff Ritter: [00:45:31] So I have I have the mag the the Apple pencil that attaches to the pro. The I guess it is the pro, right? That’s what it’s called. The one that’s magnetic. Mm-hmm.

eD! Thomas: [00:46:12] And you have to answer a riddle. it’s pretty bad That’s not great. I don’t I don’t care for it. But that’s that’s that’s the long and the short of it, my friend.

Jeff Ritter: [00:46:25] I have to tell you, you fucking nailed it.

eD! Thomas: [00:46:29] Listen, we may only do this once a year, but some things are like riding not not any bike, just the

Jeff Ritter: [00:46:32] Yeah, you nailed it. The bike. And the bike. Yeah. Just the bike. And and when you said the pro first, I was like, all right, so something’s coming up, and he knows I’m not gonna like it. Yeah. So you knew flat out that I was gonna be

eD! Thomas: [00:46:48] I did. I don’t I don’t know if you saw my note that said I don’t know where my notebook went. Okay, the notes said in there, this okay.

Jeff Ritter: [00:47:40] It is once again, you have delivered dare say dare I say flawlessly executed.

eD! Thomas: [00:47:50] Well, I guess that only leaves us to doing the making out now.

Jeff Ritter: [00:47:53] Except for that one part that we, you know, that we deleted. yeah. That part was dark. That was woof. man. Wait till the outtakes. Yeah.

eD! Thomas: [00:47:56] Yeah, yeah, that part.

eD! Thomas: [00:48:03] Yeah, yeah, listen, the crying that happened in that part. I think we learned something though about each other and ourselves.

Jeff Ritter: [00:48:12] I would think so.

eD! Thomas: [00:48:14] And dare I say the power of friendship.

Jeff Ritter: [00:48:19] Yeah. Yeah. I do feel like on each episode we do look

eD! Thomas: [00:48:25] I think we do. And which is why they don’t let us do this every week anymore, because we’d be too powerful.

Jeff Ritter: [00:48:30] Too powerful. Yeah. They said we’re dangerously, they’re dangerously close to unlocking the full power of friendship. Just put a stop to it.

eD! Thomas: [00:48:38] Make sure.

eD! Thomas: [00:48:41] well my my good man, I I think I’m sweating again, so we should probably wrap this up.

Jeff Ritter: [00:48:49] the definition of bittersweet, but I agree.

eD! Thomas: [00:48:52] And let’s do this again sooner than later.

Jeff Ritter: [00:48:54] I like that.

eD! Thomas: [00:48:55] But we’ve got a lot to talk about. And also I just miss you.

Jeff Ritter: [00:48:59] I’m I I miss you as as everything but the girl would say, like the desert misses the rain.
