We Took Over the Podcast!
Episode Description
With David on vacation this week, Marques and Andrew are confined to the producers table and Ellis and Adam run the show. We talk about a ton of small news from this week and last week. What starts as a discussion about Apple Vision Pro accessories and a new Garmin watch quickly turns into messaging app update madness, a rant about Reddit, and Apple introducing new features and dropping a brand new app. Plus, Marques and Andrew try to get some trivia revenge. It's a fun one, hope you enjoy!
