Special guest Henry T. Casey comes on the show to give us his hands-on impressions of the MacBook Air with the new M1 chip! Things look...dare we say… promising? We also went hands-on with the PlayStation 5, and chat about… Fleets! 

How we open our phone cameras, our post-Apple event spending plans, whether we want a robotic smart speaker, and what a new iPhone button of our dreams would do. 

We’re back with so much to talk about from the latest on the Apple Watch ban to the release and reviews of Apple’s new Vision Pro. Plus reviews of Rolling Square magnetic charging cables, camelcamelcamel.com and the movie Dumb Money. 

What we carry in our wallets, do we want dumb phones, how we feel about the new Pebble smartwaches, and whether we'd be interested in a cellular MacBook.
