Start
- SPSpeaker
I grew up in gold country.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Oh.
- SPSpeaker
It's, like, where the Gold Rush happened, and so we have a mine that is still operating, um, called the Empire Mine.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
A mime?
- SPSpeaker
That is... Whoa, you're kind of mesmerizing me right now. [laughs]
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Audio listeners will have to-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs] Yeah, absolutely.
- SPSpeaker
Adam was just miming.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Podcast worst nightmare, the mime. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. Well, mine is still operating.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Sorry, a mime podcast would be so funny.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Like, I'm in a box, I'm in a box. I'm still in the box. I can't get out of the box. The box is getting smaller.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
[upbeat music] Yo, what is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I'm Andrew.
- SPSpeaker
And I'm David. This week-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
It's the Waveform bros.
- SPSpeaker
I almost forgot.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
That's the new intro.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Uh, okay, this week [laughs] we've got someone in a pickle, uh, some new Nothing products, Samsung and Pixel event teasers, so we'll talk about what we expect from some of those. A new Twitter video editing tool, and David apparently wants to rant about something.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
A sort of rant, yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Sort- He wants to sort of rant about something.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Sort of rant is, probably just means insane rant.
- SPSpeaker
He wants to crash out about something.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
It's not insane, but-
- SPSpeaker
I'm ready for it
- 1:15 – 6:37
Did they even test this?
- SPSpeaker
this?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I have a positive one today.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Whoa.
- SPSpeaker
Oh.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
You mean they did test this really hard?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
They did test this. Yeah, this is, we've probably talked about it on the pod before, but every six months I think of a song, and I can't remember what it is, and I don't know any of the words to it, and I always find myself coming back to the Google Search a Song feature, and it's great every single time. And so-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Every six months on the dot, like to the minute?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I actually... Not to the minute, but I did- You can look at your rec- quote, "recent searches," and my last searches were, it's July right now, were December, then May, then January.
- SPSpeaker
This is the feature where you can just start singing-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yes
- SPSpeaker
.../humming a song.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah, so if you have the search-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... uh, the, the search bar widget and press the mic- the microphone button, then press Search a Song under that, it says you can either play, hum, or sing a song. Um, I basically just mumble a bunch because I'm sure, like many other people-
- SPSpeaker
Mumblecore
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... you, you, like, know a song, but you don't actually know the words, but you can still kind of sing along to it with just a bunch of made-up words, and you can do that into the Google thing, and it works-
- SPSpeaker
Mm
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... almost every time. It gives you some options, and there's a good chance that one of those options are the thing that you're looking for.
- SPSpeaker
It's good. Can I-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
What, yeah, what, what was the song?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs] It, it was a, it was actually a Streetlight Manifesto song.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Interesting.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I was trying to find out this morning.
- SPSpeaker
Um, very interesting.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Can you sing it for us?
- SPSpeaker
Wow.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
It's Hand That Thieves.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
The Hands That Thieves.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
The Hands That Thieves.
- SPSpeaker
I'm starting to think you guys are, like, sponsored by them or something.
- 6:37 – 8:17
Joanna Stern story about Meta glasses
- AMAndrew Manganelli
that Meta is pushing a mandatory software update to stop people's Meta glasses that have their LEDs drilled out. If you cover up the LED, it can fi- it knows that you're doing that-
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... and therefore you can record without it sh- or you can't record. But people were finding ways to drill out the LEDs-
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... to kill the light for recording secretly, which is creepy and should never happen. Um, Joanna Stern did a great video on it. We talked about it. Meta even brought it up at the launch of their last pair of glasses. Apparently, they're finally pushing an update to stop people from tampering. I'm hoping that means they figured out how to, uh, anyone who's already done it, be able to tell.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
'Cause the way they were doing it was this extremely specific way that, like, I guess the glasses couldn't tell it got tampered with, so-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, the current was still going through, but the LED was just not there anymore.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Not showing, okay.
- SPSpeaker
So the glasses thought that it was still pushing the, the current to the LED, but there was no LED.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
So I think they probably figured out a way around that.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah, I hope they found ... I hope this actually works. Um, I still think the light should be red, and I think it should be recording literally any time the camera is accessing information at all, 'cause we saw that stuff about, like-
- SPSpeaker
On the phone
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... activating AI or, and that's actually recording stuff, so-
- SPSpeaker
And it should shoot a push notification to everyone in a five-mile radius [laughs] that says you're recording.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs] But while I wish it was, you know, those things were still there, give them credit, good step. We'll fix that, or hopefully that's fixed because-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... that LED needs to be recording.
- SPSpeaker
For sure.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Um, okay. Wait, you mean the LED needs to be lit- Yes ... while recording? While recording. Yeah. Yep. Yes. Thank you.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- 8:17 – 15:06
Pickle refunds
- SPSpeaker
Another update. I got an email.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah, Marques got an email.
- SPSpeaker
I got a certain email that-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
That's it. That's the news. That's- [laughs] Whoa.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Great news.
- SPSpeaker
There was an email that I ... You know, I get a lot of emails. This is one I, I had paused for a while, and I was, like, trying to remember what it was even about. Uh, but it goes like this: "Hi. I'm Daniel, the founder and CEO of Pickle. We promised Pickle One by the end of June, and we missed that date. That's entirely on us, and I'm sincerely sorry. We have decided to cancel this pre-order batch and refund every deposit. The units need more work to meet the standard we promised you, so we are returning your money now while we continue to build." And I went, "Oh, right."
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Oh, yeah. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
"I pre-ordered a Pickle." I did pre-order a Pickle. Remember, like, how many weeks ago was it that we talked about these random-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Weeks?
- SPSpeaker
... AI-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
January.
- SPSpeaker
Months probably, yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
These random AI, uh, startups that are trying to do-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Oh
- SPSpeaker
... interesting hardware.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Well, Pickle was January.
- SPSpeaker
And one of them was Pickle.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I don't know, when we... Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, that was one of them.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
And they, you know, there were some people on Twitter who were sort of declaring ahead of time that they were not going to ship on time, and they didn't, obviously.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Well, yeah. I- if you forget what Pickle was, we talked about it in January. They were a, a pair of glasses. They were very slim, kind of funky looking. But, like, if, if you think about Snap specs, and think about the, what Pickle showed, these actually looked like glasses. The difference is Snap specs are real. Pickle, no one ever thought was going to be real.
- SPSpeaker
Fair enough.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
No, that's- Um- ... debatable ... I m- I don't know. They, so they were, uh, what they claimed the world's first sole computer. I was reading back-
- SPSpeaker
Oh, no
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... our old [laughs] talk on this, and it's more insane than I thought it was.
- SPSpeaker
Oh, no.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
First ever sole computer. They were 68 grams, had binocular, full-color AR displays, the widest field of view or brightness of any AR display glasses, lightest personal computer in history. And they had a PickleOS, which was a memory-based operating system that would, through your camera and livestreams, record your memories and turn them into bubbles in PickleOS that you could then look back on. And if it sounds like I just [beep] had a fever dream and went off the deep end, I promise all of this is stuff from the video. And that was in January, and then Daniel Park and them haven't really tweeted since February. And-
- 15:06 – 25:23
Nothing Phone 4b
- AMAndrew Manganelli
yeah, for real, for real. Uh, we, uh, had the Nothing Phone 4b drop this past week. I reviewed it, did a video about it. You can watch that. The summary is the B stands for budget. So Nothing...
- SPSpeaker
This is, this is-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I gotta, I gotta get this right.
- SPSpeaker
I... Jeez. [laughs]
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Okay. So Nothing-
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... uh, makes a bunch of phones that are budget-friendly in price.
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm. And that's what the B stands for, right?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
No.
- SPSpeaker
Oh.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
So, [laughs] they have a flagship phone in their own lineup. It's not a high-end phone, but it is their flagship. That is the Nothing Phone 3, but it is a bit more budget than the, like, premium Snapdragon Elite flagships or whatever. But they also have the A series that is, like, a more budget phone than their flagship.
- SPSpeaker
But not CMF, which is their budget brand.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Well-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... but it's also the 4a.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, so they have a 4a, and they also-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
But the 3 is their flagship
- SPSpeaker
... the 3 is their flagship. They haven't done a new flagship because of reasons. Don't worry about that. But they have a 4... Let me just go to the site to make sure I'm getting this right. [laughs] Ramses.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Um, so but yeah, they have a 4a, and they also have a 4a Pro-
- SPSpeaker
Oh
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... which is, like, a more premium but still less than their flagship budget version of their phone. Anyway, don't worry about that. They also now have a B series phone, and that is even less expensive, but they also have a sub-brand called CMF-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... that's even less expensive typically than the Nothing phones.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
My theory was that this was going to be the next high-end pro CMF phone.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Um, but, you know, we've talked about this RAM shortage and all the, the memory increase in prices and all this stuff, and I, I don't think they would've been able to get the bill of materials low enough to make another CMF phone for under $300. So-
- SPSpeaker
I got a tip from a source, uh, after our last episode about this that said that is exactly what was, what happened.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Well, I feel very validated then.
- SPSpeaker
It was gonna be the CMF Phone 3 Pro or whatever.
- 25:23 – 35:36
Nothing Ear 3
- DIDavid Imel
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
The Nothing Ear 3a, which maybe is also a little confusing because the previous version of this was the Nothing Ear (a) , and now we're on Nothing 3-
- DIDavid Imel
Do they have a 3a?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... Ear 3a. No. Um-
- DIDavid Imel
They didn't?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
No.
- DIDavid Imel
Then why is it 3a?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I don't know.
- DIDavid Imel
To m-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I would say to match [laughs] the current-
- DIDavid Imel
Match the Ear 3
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... volume, but that's 4. [laughs]
- DIDavid Imel
But that's 4.
- SPSpeaker
Oh. [laughs]
- DIDavid Imel
We're somewhat ... Akis needs to answer for his sins.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Um-
- DIDavid Imel
I need to know
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... anyways, uh, $99 just like the original Ear (a) . Um, the case looks just like the old one, which I use the Ear (a) at home and the Ear 3... Oh, maybe it's matching the Ear number, so Ear is at Ear 3.
- DIDavid Imel
Okay.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
So that's what it's matching.
- DIDavid Imel
Sure.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I use the Ear 3s at the gym here at work. I like the case of the Ear (a) better.
- DIDavid Imel
Mm.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
And I really don't feel like there's a huge difference between the two buds, so I would go with the cheap version any day of the week.
- DIDavid Imel
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Um-
- DIDavid Imel
They're good. For what they're priced, they're good.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
No, they're g- they're the earbuds I keep finding myself coming back to.
- DIDavid Imel
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I know I give Nothing a lot of hell [laughs] on this podcast, but for s- whatever reason, those earbuds, I've been using for so long.
- 35:36 – 36:47

Upcoming Tech Events
- SPSpeaker
Rules and restrictions may apply. Okay, welcome back. There are some upcoming tech events that we have to talk a little bit about. Not too much, 'cause we're gonna talk more about them when they actually happen, but, uh, the tech companies are Google and Samsung, and they're doing this thing where they're teasing basically exactly what's coming out by showing us what's coming out.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Correct.
- SPSpeaker
But not unveiling everything, technically.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
We can start with Samsung here. Uh, Samsung Unpacked, they have, like, had this, you know, aspect ratio teaser thing going on on social for a while.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
Now, they have the official Unpacked invitation, which says, uh, it says, "A new shape unfolds." I don't know how you could be any more clear about this.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs]
- SPSpeaker
They're going to have a new foldable with a different shape. Um, they even have a sort of a tear-off animation so you can see exactly what shape the foldable is going to be.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
It doesn't get any more clear than that. Now, we just have to wait to see the actual device, and to see if any of our theories are gonna come true about it being slightly lower priced or slightly more mid-range than their Ultra foldable, which is a little taller.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I think it will be, because the rumor is that the Galaxy 8 Fold is gonna be called 8 Fold Ultra.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
And I think this will probably just be 8 Fold Wide or something.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Uh, but without the Ultra moniker, and it's probably only gonna have a couple cameras, uh, it's gonna be the mid-range one, I think, which is kinda sad, 'cause I like the passport style better.
- SPSpeaker
I also think it's kinda sad, but I also think it makes sense only because in Samsung land, and a lot of other companies, more cameras equals more pro.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Like, pretty strictly.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Mm-hmm.
- SPSpeaker
The more cameras it has, the more pro it is.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
The Galaxy S26 Ultra has a bunch of cameras. If it's a lower-end phone and it's cheaper, it has less cameras, all the way down to their very lowest-end phones, which typically have two cameras.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
Um-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Except for the iPhone Air.
- SPSpeaker
Well, the, so in Apple land, it's actually kind of still true in Apple land, but the iPhone Air messes it all up.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
'Cause it's more expensive than the base phone, but it has less cameras.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- 47:35 – 54:10
Meta new image generation
- AMAndrew Manganelli
might not be an official pyrite crayon, but you could generate a pyrite crayon with Meta's new Muse Image model.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Jesus.
- SPSpeaker
Okay.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Kids these days will never know. The reason- [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Wait, that's-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... fucking-
- SPSpeaker
... AI's the infinite segue glitch.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
That's true.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah, that's true.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
But you could generate-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Just generate
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... a segue. Uh, okay, so Meta has finally put out its first AI model from its super intelligence lab.
- SPSpeaker
You say finally like we've been waiting for this.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- AMAndrew Manganelli
More, less that we've been waiting for it, and more that they've spent almost as much as they spent on the metaverse on it.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
So there's that. Uh, they launched it. It's called Muse AI. It is a image generation model. It's very deeply embedded in Instagram. Adam Mosseri's very excited that there's a bunch of new Instagram filters you can use with it, things like that. Um, I... [laughs] He posted it, and all the comments were, like, literally nobody cared.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs]
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Which is funny. The not funny part is that, uh, because it's very deeply int- integrated into Instagram, you can now, if you're on Meta AI, you can just tag an Instagram post or an Instagram profile, and it will r- you can remix whoever's photos you want. You can add-
- SPSpeaker
Ew.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
You can add people's likeness into your generated pictures. You can add
- SPSpeaker
... landscapes that other people took photos of into their pictures.
- MBMarques Brownlee
Bad. No, don't do that.
- SPSpeaker
And it's opt-out.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Hmm.
- SPSpeaker
Which is-
- 54:10 – 1:01:39
Twitter’s new video editing tool
- MBMarques Brownlee
I didn't allege anything.
- SPSpeaker
[laughs]
- MBMarques Brownlee
Meta legal department. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
All right, well, um-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Well, other social media news.
- SPSpeaker
Yep. Nice.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Twitter's new editing tool, uh, they just announced their video editing and recorder tool inside their iOS app. It can basically do everything you're expecting a vertical video editing tool on a social media app can do-
- SPSpeaker
The everything app
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... which is overlay text and auto-captioning, and, like, green screen effects. And w- where... Is this, 2026, the year of the green screen vertical video recorder? Every phone seems-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, because Android just added-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... to do it now.
- SPSpeaker
Android added it into Android.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah. It... And doesn't Apple have it now also?
- SPSpeaker
I don't think so.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
What?
- MBMarques Brownlee
It's in Final Cut, the auto magnetic mask thing.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Oh, that's like-
- SPSpeaker
Yeah, but that's same thing.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
This is, like, the, yeah, like, Android has it, so now, like, when you're screen recording, like, everything-
- SPSpeaker
Reactions
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... yeah
- SPSpeaker
Like, you can react to the video behind you.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Um, and- They're saying that this is so Twitter users can now create original [laughs] content. Um, but what really was interesting about this is after Nikita tweeted, nikitabier tweeted this, you know, new tool-
- SPSpeaker
Who is Nikita Bier?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
He is-
- MBMarques Brownlee
He's like the biggest product of Twitter
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... some- something product of Twitter. Yeah. I try not to listen to-
- SPSpeaker
He has a lot of power
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... he sounds-
- MBMarques Brownlee
He's the guy that's texting, texting clavicular.
- 1:01:43 – 1:17:06
David's Rant/PSA about App Intents
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Welcome back. Okay, this is sort of a rant, and also sort of a I understand something now-
- SPSpeaker
Hmm. Interesting
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... that I think a lot of people might not understand.
- SPSpeaker
Does that mean you're seeing both sides of this?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
I'm in the middle. [laughs]
- SPSpeaker
Oh.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Okay, so we're all using iOS 27 beta 3, correct?
- SPSpeaker
No.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Or not, not all of us.
- SPSpeaker
I'm using Android.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Android. All right.
- SPSpeaker
I am using beta.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Ellis is not... Okay, are you on beta 3?
- SPSpeaker
Yes.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Marques and I are all using- [laughs] ... iOS 27 beta 3. Okay. So something that's been kinda weird in iOS 27 in general, the beta-
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... is that, you know, we've talked a lot about how all of the Apple apps have all this special access to Siri. Siri's the big update in iOS 27, and we've been wondering, you know, is Siri only gonna be good with Apple apps? When I ask questions about personal context, and it only sorts through my messages app, but it can't go through Telegram, it can't go through Signal-
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm
- AMAndrew Manganelli
... stuff like that. If I ask it to send an email in Gmail, and it just can't do it, it can, like, open Gmail, but it can't do anything else, you know? The big question has been, is Apple gonna try to keep people in their walled garden where if you use Apple apps, everything's wonderful, and dandy, and nice, and clean, and beautiful? And I discovered an answer late last night.
- SPSpeaker
Okay.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Um, so as it turns out, Apple is allowing developers to, you know, allow their apps to give personal context, all of this stuff to Siri.
- SPSpeaker
Yes.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
But the current version of Xcode that's in beta does not l- allow you to ship apps with these functions yet.
- SPSpeaker
Mm-hmm.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
So right now you can do them in TestFlight. So if you have a TestFlight version of an app, you can see what Siri might be able to do with it once everything comes out. Everyone's sort of, you know, not officially reviewing Siri, but everyone's just posting about like, "Here's what Siri can do, here's what Siri can't do," everyone's frustrated. And it turns out we're not actually going to see the full capabilities of the new Siri until it officially launches on, like, the iPhone 18.
- SPSpeaker
Yes.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- SPSpeaker
In September.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
In September.
- SPSpeaker
Yeah. I think this is something that I've found to be generally true for a lot of, like, a lot of the big iOS updates, you'll see a lot of your apps get that update in September.
- 1:17:06 – 1:24:50
Trivia Scores
- AMAndrew Manganelli
All right. Geez. Um-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Trivia.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Trivia. Trivia. [upbeat music] Anyway, Google, support this stuff, because I wanna use Siri better.
- MBMarques Brownlee
Also, just, just for the record, just for the record.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah.
- MBMarques Brownlee
I know how much lime juice to put in chicharrones.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
[laughs]
- MBMarques Brownlee
It's more about the air fryer time, you know? I just can never, I, 'cause like you, you-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Yeah
- MBMarques Brownlee
... I, there's the perfect, like, temp and time, and you're like, "How much was that the last time?" And it's not like I'm buying a pork shoulder every week, okay? This is, this is... Anyway, guys, I'm in a pickle. I'm not in a pickle. I'm fine. But-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Hmm
- MBMarques Brownlee
... who said-
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Hmm?
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Oh
- MBMarques Brownlee
... I'm in a pick- That was pretty cool.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
It was an English writer.
- MBMarques Brownlee
Yes, an English writer from England.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Name an English writer.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
Does spelling count?
- MBMarques Brownlee
No. Get it, Andrew.
- AMAndrew Manganelli
