  • 9to5 Mac Whining Hour

    Apple fans that want to seem like they’re not and go way to far to try to prove they’re not fan boys. Also, Chance will have an opinion and if Mayo differs in the slightest, Chance instantly flops and tries to pile on even if he disagrees. Used to like to show, now I’m unsubscribing.

    Love the insight into all things Apple. Make your shows available in BitTorrent also for the techies who like that type of thing, not getting all there eggs from 1 basket.
