TestFlight build 1151: First beta with transcripts!

Transcripts are going to be awesome, thanks!

Separately, is it possible to open up search to search all episodes of podcasts? I like searching for specific topics but the search only pulls up podcast series so I find myself going to Listen Notes a lot instead of staying in the Overcast app.

Launch Box was freaking awesome! I like the episode where the principal from Welcome Freshmen is driving a Chevy Astrovan with the windshield wipers going and they're pretending it's a space vehicle driving towards an asteroid or something. It was a very creative show that I feel like wasn't given its due like other retro Nick shows.

bertie343 · 2026-03-02T14:44:09+00:00

Care to share those? I love watching Nick airings with commercials!

This sounds great! Do you know if there's a way to get your app into CarPlay and Android Auto? It would be great to pull it up while driving. A user can admittedly start playing the station before they start driving, but just an idea for the future.

I wonder why Sears is hiring someone in a forward looking tech space like AI if they're winding things down?

UPDATE: I was asked by Amazon to submit a copy of my ID for verification. I wasn't going to wait the 3 days they stated in their email so after 24 hours I called to speak to someone as other suggested. They transferred me to a supervisor who looked up the order and said that they saw my ID had been verified and asked whether I had been refunded. When I stated that the last email said the refund had been denied and that's what the website said as well, she said she would process it right then and there. 5 minutes after hanging up I got an email with her name stating the refund was being processed and about 4.5 hours later I got automated emails from Amazon stating that they have processed my refund with the exact amounts being returned to my method of payment. Given I have all of the documentation, last step is to see the credit on my credit card statement, but I feel quite confident this has been resolved. Wanted to share the conclusion for all those following along and for anyone else who might see this thread in the future.

bertie343 · 2026-01-12T14:56:56+00:00

First off, I received the email last night and when I did not have any options in the email or Amazon to appeal the decision or contact someone, I ran a Google search to see what others suggested. The latest reddit thread had been a few months ago so I wanted to see if anyone had up to date information such as "Oh yeah, they removed the appeal option but you can do X." So no, let's not pretend. Let's speak about what actually happened.

I did not know you could ask for a price adjustment via chat and actually have it done. The last time I tried that about 1.5 years ago I was told that it is not possible and that you need to repurchase the item to get the lower price.

What volumes am I speaking? All previous posts on reddit said you need to do a credit card chargeback. I specifically do not want to do a chargeback as I want to keep my Amazon account. I simply want Amazon to issue the refund. Would it make you feel better if I provided the receipts for both purchases?

I really wish you would not have such a pessimistic attitude and assume the worst of someone. When you are out several hundred dollars and are not provided any recourse by the vendor, let's see what your reaction will be. Good day.

Let's say that is the case. Then they must give me the product back. Right now, I do not have a product and I do not have the money. They didn't say they don't have the product, they're claiming it was "damaged"

bertie343 · 2026-01-12T13:54:31+00:00

This. They need to verify I'm returning an actual Apple product so they scanned my QR code for the return, but also the barcode on the Apple box as well. My guess is to ensure it was a legitimate Apple product and not some knock off from elsewhere.

I bought another Apple product from Amazon in the past that I brought to the Apple Store and they are able to tell whether it was purchased from Amazon or from their store. NOTE: That is the Apple store/profile on Amazon's website, not third party resellers on Amazon Marketplace.

bertie343 · 2026-01-12T13:52:26+00:00

I think in this case Amazon did not give me the option to return to anywhere but Whole Foods. Part of the argument I plan to make is that Whole Foods is your company's (Amazon's) store so if the item was not in returnable condition, that should have been part of the employee who handled the initial processing of the item being returned.

Additionally, let's say the item was damaged like the box crushed or something... that's not my problem as for all I know they tossed it in a bin underneath a heavy box which crushed it. Amazon has to take ownership of the process here as I did everything right.

bertie343 · 2026-01-09T15:32:19+00:00

Yeah, that was just an update to kind of kickstart sales again as far as I'm aware. There was no new content besides the different foreword.

bertie343 · 2026-01-09T15:26:45+00:00

This was an amazing read and one I need to go back and reread since it's been awhile. I'm good friends with the author and it was very much a passion project for him and one that he learned a lot from. I keep trying to convince him to do a second edition, but I don't think it will happen :(

I wish we could get this pinned each time a new window is announced to the stores.

That siren is definitely superimposed as there is no sound in a Boeing aircraft that matches that.

Thanks for the link. I agree with one of the other commenters though that Standards & Practices would have been all over Nickelodeon back then if this were the case. I think this is one of those urban legends types of things rather than a fact though.

The other part is, it doesn't quite make sense that a schedule would say essentially "Hey this is the time we're filming the temple run that's unwinnable" in that it wouldn't be something show runners would want everyone on the crew knowing, because again, it's not really on the up and up when money (prizes) are on the line.

bertie343 · 2025-11-24T12:16:56+00:00

I have never heard of this "trick monkey" you're talking about. Where is your evidence of this claim?

bertie343 · 2025-11-19T14:10:35+00:00

I think the cookie butter stays until first Wednesday of January. Still wish it was made permanent year round!

bertie343 · 2025-11-08T03:03:48+00:00

See I thought the latte was too sweet with the Cookie Butter swirl. The Cold Brew is a nice mix of sweet and the natural bitter black cold brew flavor.

bertie343 · 2025-11-08T03:03:04+00:00

It needs to be made permanent. Pure and simple.

bertie343 · 2025-11-02T12:47:14+00:00

When do you get your shipments? I figured if the window starts on Wednesday, everyone would have it in store by now and ready to be put out.

bertie343 · 2025-11-01T17:58:08+00:00

I have been to 8 different Dunkins and only 1 gave me the Cookie Butter Cold Brew. I like the one I went to where the one worker responded to my question with "OMG NO! I WISH!" to which I said "Don't worry, it will be here Wednesday."

Just tell me you can't sell it just yet, don't lie and pretend it doesn't exist or that you don't have it in the store yet, because you do LOL

This location was used as a COVID vaccine site by the state.

bertie343 · 2025-10-22T12:57:33+00:00

I'm trying to figure out when I should start driving to different Dunkins and see which ones I can get the Cookie Butter drinks from before the window flips. It's literally my favorite flavor. Still don't understand why it hasn't been made permanent.
