Type2023 Annual RickiesScore
Stephen Flexie "Twitter will file for bankruptcy" 0
Type2023 September RickiesScore
Stephen Flexie "By the time we grade these picks, our St Jude fundraiser will be over $250,000" 1
  • Stephen once again pushes the boundary of acceptable Flexie topics, possibly opening a Pandora's box for the already-chaotic game.
TypeThe TiccilympicsScore
Stephen Regular "Ticci tries an e-ink phone to help reduce distractions and get more into reading" 1
  • After writing down the pick but before the episode was recorded, Federico mused about this on Threads, but the other hosts will allow it. And he might already have one that he doesn't use already. The key is that Federico needs to actually speak about it.
  • Federico did indeed try an e-ink phone and discussed it on the Pro show of Connected 513.
Stephen Regular "Federico speaks before a government body in an official capacity about AI training" 0
Stephen Regular "Viticci adds a water feature to his balcony" 0
Stephen Non‑graded "He gets a new technology-related tattoo" 0
Stephen Non‑graded "Federico considers implanting a magnet and/or NFC chip into his body" 0
  • Added on the fly during recording.

Myke's Non-Apple Related Picks

TypeThe TiccilympicsScore
Myke Regular "Federico drills a hole in wall for running a cable to an external GPU" 0
Myke Regular "Another Windows handheld is declared to be "the best", resulting in Ticci selling his Legion Go" 0.5
  • With no rules against half-points, the fact that Federico has kept but repurposed his Legion Go as a SteamOS device and no longer considers it "the best" gets partial credit.
Myke Regular "Federico makes more than 10 Flexie picks in one game of the Rickies" 1
Myke Non‑graded "Ticci returns to WWDC and tries a new food. He doesn't like it" 1
Myke Non‑graded "Federico creates another Frankenstein computer device" 1
  • Federico initially thinks not, but a "crazy eGPU that at some point caught on fire" definitely counts.
Myke Non‑graded "Federico discovers a new kickstand technology" 1
TypeThe StephenlympicsScore
Myke Regular "Stephen goes back to a desktop Mac"
Myke Regular "When reading this pick, Stephen will confess to another piece of technology that he has broken and not told us about"
  • If it's the iPhone 17 Air specifically, then extra props go to Federico for calling it.
Myke Regular "Stephen has a mustache and a shaved head"
Myke Non‑graded "Stephen's next computer has more than 8 terabytes of SSD"
Myke Non‑graded "Stephen launches another Kickstarter campaign"
Myke Non‑graded "Stephen buys and returns at least one iPhone from the 2025 lineup"

Federico's Non-Apple Related Picks

TypeThe StephenlympicsScore
Federico Regular "Stephen will end up buying both the iPhone 17 Air and the 17 Pro within the span of 12 months"
  • Specifically for himself, not for a family member.
  • "Within 12 months" is referring to the date of the pick, which is when it'll be graded anyway, but we're all just having some fun here, not worrying about the rule arguments as much this time.
Federico Regular "Stephen will go to WWDC '26"
Federico Regular "Stephen at some point will assemble a gallery of the Liquid Glass design evolution through the betas"
Federico Non‑graded "Stephen will win the Relay Co-Founder's Championship at the Podcastathon"
Federico Non‑graded "Stephen will finish at least one game on the new Analogue Nintendo 64 console"
Federico Non‑graded "Stephen sees Yellowcard or Death Cab for Cutie again"
Federico Non‑graded "Stephen hurts himself trying to do some physical work"
Federico Non‑graded "One of Stephen's old pieces of Apple gear gets misplaced"
