We're back! After a nice break for the holiday Marques, Andrew, and David waste no time getting right back into the newest gadgets and announcements.

First, everyone gives a quick update on what they did over the break before venting about Qi2 wireless charging in upcoming Android phones. Then it's all about CES where they talk about everything from weird vacuum robots to the new Nvidia announcements and even some new wonky screens from LG! After that, it's all about the cars of CES including Afeela, Faraday Future, and even Honda. Of course, we wrap everything up with some trivia. Enjoy!

CES 2025: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly

This week, Marques, Andrew, and David start things off with the Model Y refresh (naturally, there are conflicting opinions) before digging deep into the potential TikTok ban. After that, it's all about the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement! We recorded this the day before the announcement but thankfully all of the most recent leaks that were discussed ended up being true! What luck. After that, we end it all with a new game that Adam is calling "Crown and Clown" before wrapping it all up with trivia. Enjoy!

TikTok, on the Clock ⏰

This week, Marques is out filming a top secret video but we still have Andrew and David (and even Ellis for a little) stepping up to hold down the pod. First, they talk about everything that happened last week from the TikTok chaos to the official Nintendo Switch 2 announcement before getting into the new Samsung Galaxy S25 devices. Even Marques drops in via pre-recorded video to give his thoughts. Then we finish it up by recommending a few of our favorite apps we've been enjoying. It's a chaotic one, but enjoy!

Is Anything “New” with the Galaxy S25?

This week, Ellis sits down with Andrew and David to discuss everything Apple Vision Pro! It has been almost exactly one year since the Apple Vision Pro was first released, so we thought it'd be a good idea to talk with actual developers about what they like and don't like about building apps for Apple's new device. Enjoy!

P.S - Thanks so much to Grégoire Lemoulant and Cihat Gündüz for taking the time to speak with us!

Then they get into everything that happened with DeepSeek before talking about the return of the Pebble smartwatch! After that, they play "Something? Or Nothing?" again with a few wildly different news stories that may or may not be interesting. Of course, we wrap it all up with trivia. Enjoy!

Did DeepSeek Just Break the AI industry?

This week, Marques and Andrew kicked things off by trying to explain to David the absurdity of the Luka Doncic trade in tech terms that he would understand. After that, it was all about the Pixel 4a battery update issue. Then they discuss a new app that Apple just dropped and a new app that Adam is really excited about. They wrap it all up talking about Meta trying to make the Metaverse happen, YouTube experimenting with 4x speed, and Andrew ranting about streaming services. There was a surprising amount of news to go over despite not having any new gadgets to discuss. Enjoy!

Would You Watch YouTube at 4x Speed?

This week, Marques, David, and Andrew played 'Headlines in a Hat!' There were so many unrelated news stories that we decided to put them all in a hat and pick them at random to discuss. Topics range from the new iPhone and Pixel leaks to cryptic Rivian teasers and even YouTube-viewing habits. Lastly, we talked about tech that we miss. Of course, we wrap it all up with trivia! Enjoy.

iPhone 16E: What Does the “E” Mean?

This week we have another longform episode! David got a little obsessed with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) a few months ago and spent hours and hours researching and talking to experts so that he can try to explain it here on the podcast for Marques and Andrew. This one is a little dense but if you're even remotely interested in the mysteries of our universe this one is for you. David explains why the JWST is such a big deal and what we hope to discover once it begins sending back pictures.
