In the last six years, Caleb, we've had a chance to talk about many of my greatest passions. I think I think a lot of your greatest passions too. We've talked about the invention of bicycles, the surprising importance of parking, the evolution of storytelling, the neurochemistry of consciousness, the case for oversharing. But we've never really properly talked about maybe my greatest obsession. Some might even call it a fetish.

Oh my gosh, yikes, am I gonna have to tag this as an explicit episode when I upload it? It's nothing quite so frisky. I'm talking about my obsession with Apple, the technology company. Ah, okay. You know what?

That does feel like an oversight. I'm Rufus Grisscom, and I'm Caleb Bissinger. And this is the next big idea. Today, the history and future of Apple. You know, Rufus, this is actually not just an obsession of yours.
