Transcript

What BBN said on air. Comedy, with fictional anchors.

  1. Kenji MoonfieldSamsung says European searches for its foldables shot up four hundred sixty percent in a single week, and its announcement somehow managed to leave out Apple entirely.

  2. Kenji MoonfieldMy guest is Governor Tobias Marchetti-Vane of Northern Reach Province. Governor, did Apple's iPhone Duo cause that jump?

  3. Governor Tobias Marchetti-VaneNo, and I'll tell you why. On March third I personally signed a tech tax holiday with this very gold pen, and the searches followed.

  4. Kenji MoonfieldThe jump was one week, and Apple announced the Duo on September ninth. Your holiday was in March.

  5. Governor Tobias Marchetti-VaneSearches have a long memory, Kenji. June eleventh, second pen. By my count, the pen has now caused two separate weeks.

  6. Kenji MoonfieldSamsung's UK vice president, Richard Chang, says demand for the Fold eight family is up sixteen percent since launch.

  7. Kenji MoonfieldDid you sign that one too?

  8. Governor Tobias Marchetti-VaneI can't say I signed that exact number.

  9. Governor Tobias Marchetti-VaneBut I signed the paper the number was printed on, on August twentieth, so draw your own conclusion.

  10. Kenji MoonfieldThe paper.

  11. Kenji MoonfieldThe iPhone Duo goes on sale tomorrow at two thousand dollars. Samsung's wide foldable debuted at nineteen hundred. Is that your pricing policy?

  12. Governor Tobias Marchetti-VaneYes. A hundred dollars is a gap I personally closed, on the first of October, with this pen, in a ceremony.

  13. Kenji MoonfieldGovernor, you'd get a better ending by agreeing with the people crediting Apple.

  14. Kenji MoonfieldSamsung won't say Apple, and you won't say nothing happened. Sir, you two should share a post.
