615: What’s Wrong With You Guys?

Did Tim really need to show up for this? Is my question for that beginning.

I had that moment of thinking, like, I get it.

But also, Tim, you're not as big a deal as you think you are.

Exactly.

That was my thought, too.

Like, okay.

All right, Tim, we see you.

It was a perfectly fine handoff moment.

I had that moment.

Where they're doing the voiceovers.

And I think with every single voiceover, I tried to peg whether it was someone...

They all had voices that sounded very familiar, but also they weren't known celebrities.

Expert voiceover recognizer Lex Friedman here will correct me if I'm wrong.

but I felt like they all kind of evoked a stereotype or a particular sound or whatever.

But then when Tim came on, I had the briefest of moments where I thought it was Owen Wilson.

something about it that caught me and i was like why is that voice so familiar

that would be funny see maybe it should have been owen

wilson owen wilson as tim cook i think i would watch that performance to be honest i think it would be fascinating

i don't have that one prepared so i can't i can't imagine how that would work good morning anyway

um No, Tim didn't need to show up.

I thought that, I mean, I don't think it's surprising to anybody that Ternus is a better presenter than Tim.

And I think he also shouldered more of the load than Tim typically would have in his presentations.

I liked all those things.

But I thought that Attempting to channel Steve Jobs in his intro was a mistake for Ternus, and I thought that it seems a little bit ridiculous to me for an extremely over-predicted item that everybody knew was coming to throw one more thing in your first presentation.

I thought neither of those things were necessary.
