David Pierce [11:25]: "End of 2025, somebody has acquired Snap [...] somebody, I forgot, I had a lot to remember coming back from December 2025."
I thought this bit was great. Sometimes it’s the unnexpected off the cuff bits that are the funniest.
This one works so well because it’s so uncomplicated, a bit silly, it’s perfectly timed and it doesn’t disrupt the flow in any way. They are playing a game pretending David came back from the future with a tech Almanac in his head. A few minutes into it, just as they are settling into their predictions, he styles this one in, and everyone collectively 'oh yeah' remembers they are playing the Back to the Future game.
Of course you can’t over use these types of jokes but this one made me smile so much I thought it was worth pointing it out.
Update: Finished listening to the episode, definitely worth the listen, future tech predictions with a bit of humour. #
