So much happened this week! First, Marques, Andrew, and David talk about everything from the new pickle emoji to OnePlus shutting down operations in the U.S. Then they get into all of the Pixel 11 color and pricing leaks before talking about Apple suing OpenAI. It all gets wrapped up with some show & tell where Marques demonstrates a new skill he learned. It's a fun one!

We got Marques juggling balls before GTA 6
Chapters working Adam
At this rate Marques will be on a unicycle by next week’s ep 💀 LMAO I’m actively listening rn and yall talking about the emojis is hilarious Im 21 and use the 💀 way too much
we still use emojis Marques 🥀💔✌️😭
This cold open to Marques juggling might be your best one yet. Well played WVFRM team 😅
6:53 I’m 19 and I use emojis quite often.
I feel like I'm being influenced into getting a Daft Punk shirt, and one day it will work.
7:00 i’m 18 and I avoided using emoji for a while, but I use them all the time now
Long time listener. I'm 33 Y.O. and I do NOT use Emojis in text conversations. I sometimes use them in discord via reactions but not in regular text conversations.
6:46 I'm 18 and I regularly use emojis
Marques beat his main quest and is now moving on to the side quests
Marques juggling every day for 6 months was not on my 2026 bingo card
24:49 interesting how they’re talking about Pixel leaks but didn’t talk about the huge iPhone leak that happened days ago via its India partner Tata’s cyber hack
7:13 I am 19, only using them sometimes, mainly for teams at work
7:01 I'm 51 an i send my loved ones a heart of their favorite color every morning.
02:07 @ Andrew: you can remove the sticker button from that shortcut bar
The opening was a Lee Mack story in "why would I lie to you" and if it's a reference, you guys are truly transcending to a whole another level
…not just the US, across Europe as well (which has double the US population & likely more impactful)
I have the exact same issue with gboard 2:39
1:31:25 please add "WHATS IN THE BAG" to your sound board 😂
