**Ellis Rovin** (1:15)
Guys, what came first?
**SPEAKER_2** (1:17)
Sharks. 76ers.
**Andrew Manganelli** (1:18)
Before trees. Me.
**SPEAKER_2** (1:20)
Wow.
**Marques Brownlee** (1:21)
You guys really do listen. Sharks came before fire.
**Andrew Manganelli** (1:25)
That's not that whole.
**Marques Brownlee** (1:25)
Do you know that?
**Adam** (1:26)
Wait, like people making fire?
**Marques Brownlee** (1:29)
I learned this on Reddit. So, asterisk, asterisk. What is up, people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques.
**Andrew Manganelli** (1:42)
I'm Andrew.
**Marques Brownlee** (1:43)
And I'm David. So, not a ton of news this week, but we still have plenty to talk about. On today's episode, we're going to talk about Apple's new leasing program. Some framework laptop thoughts. Some of the audio viewers have already picked that up.
Volvo discontinuing LiDAR in all of their cars. And a pretty insane looking robot cleaning service that hit our Twitter feeds this week. And then we'll wrap it all up with a game. But first, before or before did they even test this?
The Brown of the Sixers.
**Ellis Rovin** (2:10)
That is right every... Dude, I thank you to everyone.
**Marques Brownlee** (2:13)
Figured you'd want to chime in, Ellis.
**Ellis Rovin** (2:15)
All weekend, my mentions were blowing up with people being like, what do you think? I came here first. Thank you for thinking of me.
**Marques Brownlee** (2:22)
I feel like I was honored to be the one to break the news to you.
**Adam** (2:25)
Oh, wait, can you tell that story?
**Marques Brownlee** (2:26)
I remember, where was I? I think I just was walking back across the studio and I checked my phone and I saw that Lebron had posted a video. And it was like a two-minute video on Instagram. And I was like, well, if Lebron's trolling with two-minute videos on Instagram while everyone's waiting for his decision, that's pretty crazy. So I scrolled to the end of the video and it's just a slow-mo Sixers logo. And I was like, oh, so this is it.
And so I walk up to you and I go, Ellis, it happened. And Ellis goes, whoa, whoa, wait a second, wait a minute, wait a minute. Hold on, because you don't want to be duped, you know? You've been saying it for a while, but it turned out it was true.
**Ellis Rovin** (2:58)
It was true. Yeah. No, I couldn't have gotten... It was actually awesome because you were like, Lebron made his decision and then you didn't tell me what. It's like, oh my God, this is perfect. But I just want to say, if you like, we're going to have a lot of new Sixers fans because of this. A lot of people. And I'm so stoked. Feel free to bandwagon where we... The more the merrier in Sixers Nation. However, and this is part of the reason this feels so good. This is the most chaotic team you could possibly root for, which is part of the fun. In the last like four years, we've seen players appendix rupture right before the playoffs. We've had players get hit by cars randomly and get taken out of series. Almost every single player we've ever passed up on has won a championship, including two in the past six months, Andrew Shammet and Mikhail Bridges.
This is like a fan base where every possible thing that could go wrong goes wrong. And so the fact that we ended up with the GOAT, I just, the story writes itself, the process.
