Adam and Cliff are back in 2023 for our first podcast in the new year. This month, Adam had a tough time transferring his phone to a new review device (that he can't talk about yet). As he noted, what used to take 20 seconds this time took over half an hour. We pad out the runtime a bit talking about CES and Samsung's unpacked event coming up at the beginning of February. But that's all Adam's vocal cords could stand so we called it a night. Patreon bonus for this episode: Early accessTwitter - @BenefitofdoudInstagram - @BenefitoftheDoudYoutube - http://bitly/botdtubeTwitch - twitch.tv/benefitofthedoudTikTok - @BenefitoftheDoudBenefit of the Doud is written and hosted by:Adam Doud - @DeadTechologyCo-produced by:Clifton M.
