This week, Marques is out filming a top secret video but we still have Andrew and David (and even Ellis for a little) stepping up to hold down the pod. First, they talk about everything that happened last week from the TikTok chaos to the official Nintendo Switch 2 announcement before getting into the new Samsung Galaxy S25 devices. Even Marques drops in via pre-recorded video to give his thoughts. Then we finish it up by recommending a few of our favorite apps we've been enjoying. It's a chaotic one, but enjoy!
