The Voicemail 
You may want to have a new episode on the 9th to summarize the Google Pixel meeting from the 4th. I don’t feel like watching the video.
You can read, you know.
I’d like an episode on the 9th, too, to hear your opinions on the pixel. I was looking forward to getting one but it’s kind of ‘meh’ with no outstanding features. To me the only bonus features are in software (the assistant, and support), and neither of which I care about. I guess the big question is will James buy it, or being run full speed over to samsung.
