As an unrealistic fan of Princess Bride that intro made my Friday
Inconceivable! Vergecast, you keep using that word ‘flagship’. I do not think it means what you think it means…
What’s your favorite Princess Bride quote?
I think I know the reason for the long pause. He was using his Neuralink to ask ChatGPT for a quote from the Princess Bride 😂
Hey good to see you guys are adding clips. Like loved your ai pope discussion, but you didn’t show any pictures so it’s better with clips
I’m really looking forward to the day when the verge adds pictures to the vergecast.
Thank you Vergecast, for bringing back podcast with video! Technology coverage needs video especially with today’s crazy crazy crazy world.
Where were you when the princess bride led to the demise of twitter
Just “ordered” a Telly. Obviously I didn’t give them actual info about me (lied about name, birthday, and used hide my email). But I had to give phone number and address :/
Super long ad profile quiz (said I love everything hoping that’ll push me up on their list)
Obviously I’m just going to wait until hacked/goes out of business

Naw fr, I really was wondering where Richard Lawler was a few days ago! Good to see him
We need more Richard Lawler commentary. Consistently powerful takes.
Are you hating on him because he doesn’t give you interviews 🤔 ? That bit was neither funny nor informative, and who quotes movies correctly anyway?
Recon race both front and back?
Have been considering switching from schwalbe ray/Ralph to maxxis (I trust their rubber way more) but have decision paralysis on which tires to choose
Guys, as far as transparent tech products are concerned, I’m surprised none of you mentioned the Nothing products.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ADI ON!!! she is so knowledgeable and should be a permanent host. ❤
It’s important to make a correction regarding the commentary on the Ed Sheeran lawsuit. It was actually Ed Townsend, the co-writer of Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On” who sued, not Gaye’s estate.
Awesome podcast all and love when you cover all things that are important and relevant.Good Job All.Thanks for keeping me posted ✌️
I used to listen to the Vergecast. I don’t anymore. I forgot why I didn’t, then I watched a few minutes of this and remembered. Oof.
