Google Plays Monopoly Wrong
We enter into December with an Android Police podcast that tackles the big issues in our industry. And no, there isn't a hint of punchline there. Casetify is accused of plagiarism in its churn-and-burn quest to profit from phone cases while Google is accused of planting stories about how unsafe Fortnite is while actually failing to address how bad gaming on Android really is. Throw in a dose of OnePlus 12 pre-launch hype (don't fall for it) and a dash of the impossible premium connected TV stick that's actually good and you have a jam-packed show. 03:39 | Jerry Got Rigged Casetify allegedly ripped off Dbrand's Teardown skins Dbrand's new X-ray skins let you see the guts of your devices, sort of Casetify might have swiped its case designs from more than just Dbrand 23:43 | Peeking into the News OnePlus has officially revealed what the OnePlus 12 looks like 31:56 | One Good TV Walmart has a new $15 streaming stick with Google TV Sonos wants to challenge Google on the headphones and set-top box front 44:36 | Reddit Evolving the Reddit Brand...

Sprawling Past The Moat
This is the half-hour portion of the Android Police podcast that we recorded two weeks ago talking a little bit about the everlong travails of Google when it comes to Fitbit and getting Apple to adopt RCS. Well, we at least know how one of those stories worked out, but we also continue writing the story of this very show and the business of what we talk about. If you're celebrating Thanksgiving this week, have a safe and happy one. We're back next week. Google is ending Fitbit sales in over a dozen countries Fitbit Charge 6 review: Do you really need a smartwatch?

Inadvertently an Epic vs. Valve Episode
Of course we're going to talk about Humane's silly AI Pin on the Android Police podcast this week — spoiler: we don't make it out to be as silly as you might think it is. That plus a recap of Epic v. Google in the courts and the absolute shambles that is mobile gaming right now as well as a new (but very familiar) Steam Deck that hit us right between the eyes! We've recorded so much show this week that you'll be getting an additional half-hour in our next show, straying from the topical and going into more of the existential... be sure to tune in then. 03:56 | Pinned Down Humane’s Ai Pin Looks Exhausting to Use (howtogeek.com) 24:44 | Epic v.

Pixel Gatekeeping Pro
The Pixel 8 Pro is dumb. Just dumb. You think you can make it all smart with this artificial intelligence crap, Google? How about you just say the quiet part out loud to the Android Police podcast about why it's $300 more than the Pixel 8? This week, a single 50-minute rant as performed by three tech nerds.

Do You Feel Alive Talking to Johnny V?
The Android Police podcast may need a name change. And no, The Vergecast is taken. But for a show that delves into the profundity of notions such as the phases of smartphone design and the uncanny valley that is a conversation with a voice assistant, we also get to inject bits of "Her" and "Short Circuit" into the mix. So there's that. We've got chat about the Fitbit Charge 6, Pixel 8a, Amazon's hidden Fire HD 10 and a whole smattering of in-between bits that we just can't stay away from. This is our longest episode yet in this iteration and the show notes go to reflect it.

What Will Google Put in Gmail Today?
On the Android Police podcast this week, our arms are circling back around the clock to our Galaxy Watch 6 review and springing forward to the Pixel Watch 2 as we're on the rumor watch. We'll stop with wordcraft and continue with more ineffective PR campaigns from Google whether you're dealing with training its AI (or the perceived sucking of data for the purposes of training that AI) or blocking ads on YouTube.

Daniel, Ara, and Will are putting in their say on this episode of the Android Police podcast.
