Rude host, obnoxious ads
Jason is so cocky, arrogant, and insulting to anyone with a different opinion than him. “Ooh look at me, I worked at MacWorld. I AM YOUR GOD!” Just so off-putting. He occasionally makes good arguments. It’s just unfortunate his enflated ego makes it hard to listen to. Edit Feb 2024: in one episode Jason makes a broad sweeping statement about free apps being totally fine under the DMA because they’re free. In the next episode he’s extremely rude and arrogant towards somebody who wrote in with a caveat about his statement, and Jason is basically like “well I’ve said in prior episodes emulators are a caveat.“ So I guess he’s allowed to make sweeping statements but nobody’s allowed to correct him because he said something years ago? This man is too cocky, too arrogant, too self-righteous, and thinks he’s the god of all Apple news because he’s been doing it for a while and nobody can ever correct him. This is not an isolated incident. Myke used to be a much nicer guy, but honestly Jason is dragging him down into somebody I now have less respect for and less interest in his business success.

Seems like a podcast created by 2 unemployed ex tech geeks that laugh at each others words. Listening to the English guy, whos seems to be on a 100 different podcasts now, is like nails on a chalkboard. Hopefully they will get focused and retool this to work.

Turning into a repetitive show… Old men talk about the icons on their home screens Old men talk about the contents of their luggage Can’t wait for the upcoming episodes Old men talk about colours they have seen Old men talk about things they own …and the occasional Apple news or random film...Read full review »
