There comes a time when you just gotta do what the readers want. Particularly when their demands are awesome.

You tweeted, you pleaded, you emailed, you told us in person at trade shows and during mildly creepy public run-ins: "have Marques Brownlee on the Weekly!" you demanded. And after weeks of dancing around schedules, overseas trips, and major product releases, we've finally managed to make it happen. For the first time in recorded history, MKBHD and Pocketnow have collaborated to bring you two full hours of audio-podcast goodness.

That sounds a lot more grandiose than three guys sitting in three separate cities talking about technology, but trust us: it's a lot of fun. We'll be covering more of Marques's personal story in next week's interview on the Pocketnow VIP, but for now, there's a lot of tech news to cover. From Nexus 5 to One max to Galaxy Note 3 to that weird little box Taylor Martin plugged into his car, there's a lot to sink our teeth into this week.

All that, plus thoughts on whether the Samsung's new Galaxy Gear smartwatch is or isn't a total disaster, awaits you in the long span ahead on episode 066 of the Pocketnow Weekly podcast. So wake up your wrist screen, but don't bother firing up S Voice; three of tech's most talkative dudes are here, and they've got plenty to say without her help.

Oh, and Viktor Biboski asks what kind of car Marques drives, which prompts Taylor to wax poetic about his own four-wheeled wonder until the show finally, mercifully runs out of steam.

Thanks for listening!
