Episode 335: Vision Pro Demo, MacBook, and cooking
Dave visited an Apple Store this week and got a demo of the Vision Pro. He takes us through the process of preparing for the demo and gives us his thoughts on the product. While there, Dave also spent time with the new MacBook Pro and MacBook Air and gives us his verdict on which machine he thought was better. We also talked about my new hobby, cooking, and the hours it takes to make a sauce.

Episode 333: Apple car, sports app, and robots
Apple cancelled its long-running car project this week, leaving people wondering what will happen to all of the technology it invented and gathered during the last decade. The company also released a new app, similar to News, but focused solely on sports. Dave and I talk about if we would have a robot in our house and what we could use it for in the future.

Customer Reviews
A sound program :)
The show is always enjoyable. Jim is a kick, and has really interesting guests. If I had anything that I wish could be different, I think the audio level could be evened out a bit. (Jim can get to sounding really soft and distant, maybe 10dB or more down from the guest.) Other than that, keep up the good work!
Jim endures his idiot friend’s uninformed opinions
Knowledgeable Apple superuser and pundit Jim Dalrymples weekly conversation with his friend - who couldn’t be less knowledgeable or experienced. Jim is 5/5. Dave is 0/5. Seriously, Dave just rambles on about things he has read about but has no experience with - or worse - has failed to dig into with any effort. So basically this clown just reads headlines about things and then spouts off random incorrect things. If you have any background knowledge about the topic you’ll be pulling your hair out at how stupid and uninformed he is. I have absolutely no idea why Dalrymple continues to waste time with him. I know I don’t anymore. Sorry Jim. Get smarter friends.
Should be called the Dave Mark podcast
Jim is great but has no business having his own podcast as he never speaks for more than 10% of the show. Dave, OTOH, babbles incessantly. I keep trying the show every few months but nothing has changed and listening to Dave is just cringy.
