Episode notes
Goose Concert And Chicken Salad Trip
- Marco flew to Richmond for a Goose concert and scored perfect elevated front-row seats behind the pit.
- He enjoyed Chicken Salad Chick and praised the concert as the second-best show he's seen.
Fix AirPods Pro 3 Fit Quickly
- Try larger ear tips and angle AirPods Pro 3 stems toward your mouth to improve comfort and fit.
- Marco found the large tips and reorientation made ANC and sound comfortable enough to keep the Pro 3s.

- Live translation via Apple's Translate app works locally on supported AirPods models but remains slow and imperfect.
- Marco found it useful for gist comprehension but not as natural or fast as server-based alternatives.
