Rocket Christmas continues because we've got the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried kicking off, along with the release of Michael Lewis' new book on the rise and fall of SBF and FTX. Then, with a whole week of life with the iPhone 15 under our belts, we're talking about how Apple's new phones stack up. Let me spoil it for you, the 15 is better than the iPhone 11. Who could have seen this one coming.
Everyone is falling apart this week, so we’re breaking out the EMERGENCY EPISODE! Simone and Brianna had a fireside chat, about life and all that. What’s in it? We can’t remember! Plus, Simone gives a little preview of her experience setting up the iPhone 15. But that’s not really why you’re here, is it?
We’re in hog heaven, because someone accidentally uploaded an unredacted PDF of Microsoft documents as part of the FTC V. Microsoft case. Let’s talk about Microsoft’s theoretical plans for the future of Xbox and… buying Nintendo? Then, iPhone 15 reviews are out! Simone is finally, actually going to upgrade. Get ready. Then, Brianna discusses how she’s being wooed by Leica cameras — and what it takes to make it a lifestyle.
It’s Apple Week! Christina and Bri break-down the latest from the iPhone 15 event, covering the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Pro, USB-C, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Series Ultra 2. They also briefly discuss the drama happening at Unity and talk about a Bloomberg article on the rise and fall of FaZE Clan.
This episode things are getting heated. Larian Studio is patching a bug that made companions in Baldur’s Gate 3 a little too eager to jump into bed with the player. Then, an unnamed chastity cage manufacturer has a massive… data leak. It’s finally bad! Finally, Burning Man attendees are leaving the desert after a weekend trapped in the mud.
The September Apple event is coming up, and we’re talking rumors — from USB-C ports on every (?) phone, to the DEATH OF THE GOLD COLORWAY… RIP. Plus, will there be a new button on the Pro and Pro Max? Or should I say, the Ultra? Then, an Insider piece asks if social sharing, like the gold iPhone, is dead. We certainly have thoughts about the rise of Discord and the DMs for chatting.
Sony finally reveals its new Playstation Portal device, and it’s exactly as underwhelming as everyone suspected it would be. Then, Apple supports California’s latest Right to Repair bill — but to what end? Then, Fyre Festival 2 is happening somewhere in the Carribbean. And if you’re one of the lucky 100 who bought tickets, boy do we want to hear from you!
Prolific YouTube hardware channel Linus Tech Tips is going on a week’s pause after a controversy surrounding the review of a cooling prototype — and more. Then, it’s the 25th anniversary of the iMac. Yes, you can scream about it. Finally, justice may finally be served in the world of scammy printer money-making tactics.

Well it was not particularly enjoyable listen to this heated ranting, showing a lot of elitism and characterization of motives of anonymous users on a forum, and not a lot of explanation of stocks, shorts, technology, regulations, which I was expecting.
Such a fantastic podcast. Really appreciate that 3 women can discuss anything, with many different views, without getting bitchy or attacking each other! MUST LISTEN
do more playing for fun pls
Brilliant group of women talking about anything tech. always interested in what they talk about. I have recently started binge listening from the beginning. So worth it. Thank you Rocket!
