What personal experience does Marco share about his injury?
i had a terrible cut this week i cut the the tip of my left thumb with a knife nice i thought you meant like you cut something out of the show last week and you weren't pleased about it oh i'm sorry to hear that that's something out of his finger and he wasn't pleased with it yeah fair enough well so the problem with cutting the tip of your left thumb is that well that's my phone thumb like because i you know i'm the left hander so like already now using my phone through like you know a band-aid capacitive band-aids Yeah, well, I mean, it works. It just works terribly. And so it was like, first of all, the entire left half of the phone keyboard when typing text on the phone, that is now horrendous.
And so I mostly just have to use the other hand and then trying to navigate the phone because I'm a left hand phone user. That left thumb is my dominant phone, like one hand navigation finger. So that's a mess. And then I got to my Mac and that's the command key thumb.
Oh, yes, that's true.
I could switch which side is the space bar. I don't care about that. That I can deal with, but I can't switch the side of the command key.
Yeah, I would die.
Oh, my God. I thought about it. I'm just like, this is it. I'm like, should I go on vacation? I don't know. I can't do anything. Fortunately, I have now downgraded to a thinner bandage as the cut heals, and I'm almost out of this national nightmare, but man... But there is no worse finger to heavy cut than your left thumb when you are a Mac user. Oh, gracious. That is no fun.
Yeah. You know, it's so funny. I'm a pretty good typist. I'm not going to sit here and say... We did the typing test like two or three years ago. I forget which one of us was fastest. But I'm pretty good. I'm no Jason Snow, but I'm pretty good. But... You ask me to spacebar with my left thumb or command with my right thumb, I'm sorry, gun to my head, I guess I'm going to get shot because I'd be doomed. I cannot do it.
I don't think, you know, looking at my keyboard, I'm trying to like use muscle memory. I don't think I have ever used my right command key.
Yeah, I'm not sure I have either. Command period, yeah.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
No, yeah, I guess that's true. Other than that, though. Yeah.
Yeah.
All right, let's do some follow-up. And we have a lot of chatter, as I would expect, about Overcast Transcriptions. And first of all, I'd like to say thanks to the people who reached out and said that that was a really good episode slash segment. I'd like to congratulate you, maybe, or thank you, Marco, for doing such a good job telling that whole story, because I was riveted. You know, there's a lot of times that... Uh, maybe not as much, John, but certainly I will play up the ignorant card just to move the show along, you know, something that we've talked about a few minutes before to set up, set up a joke or something, you know, and, oh, really? Tell me more about that. Uh, but this is one of those scenarios where John and I, or at least I, I presume John also, had no freaking clue that this is where that story was going.
Uh, which... And the one side is a little frustrating because, you know, I want to be along for the ride with my friend. But on the other side, made for excellent programming. So this is a sacrifice we make in our mutual friendships for you, the listener. You're welcome.
This is why I can do things like set up an entire data center worth of Mac menus without ever telling you guys. The only person who knew about all this stuff as it was happening, I told underscore. Because, you know, that was we kept it private. We both had a lot of fun, like, you know, anticipating like when you guys would finally find out about it. But yeah, and it's, you know, like when I bought the restaurant, I didn't tell anybody on the Internet because it's like, well, this is and it's only because like, oh, this is going to make for a fun ATP when I finally spring it on you guys live.
Yep, and that did as well.
Like when John quit his job.
Also true, yep. So we are terrible friends, but we make for a pretty good co-host, is what I'm hearing.
