This episode pulls back the curtain on the shocking breakup of Genius Bar, the podcast co-hosted by Sam Kohl and Jon Prosser. Sam joins Andru Edwards, host of Geared Up, to share for the first time what really happened behind the scenes. The honest, sometimes painful conversations and revelations that led to the end of his creative partnership and friendship with Jon Prosser. The discussion exposes how financial tension, personal disappointment, and broken trust can change everything, even after years of success together.

Then we dive straight into the drama swirling around Jon Prosser, as Apple files a lawsuit that has set the tech world buzzing. Sam and Andru unpack the legal allegations against Prosser, the mystery of the anonymous email tip, and what it’s like to find your name and former co-host splashed across headlines for all the wrong reasons. It’s a rare look at how quickly trust can unravel when big money and bigger risks collide in the YouTube ecosystem.

Then we take a deep dive into the next wave of iPhone rumors, with speculation and hot takes on the iPhone 17 lineup. Sam and Andru debate the real-world appeal of a super-thin iPhone 17 Air, two-tone design leaks of the 17 Pro, new camera systems, and even the possibility of reverse wireless charging.

The conversation shifts to Apple’s latest betas, including all the buzz around iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe updates - especially the new Liquid Glass interface. Hear first-hand impressions on how Liquid Glass has split the community, what’s actually better (and worse) about the new features, and why these subtle design changes are sparking heated debates among creators, power users, and everyday fans. From accessibility concerns to the future of Apple UI, nothing is off the table in this deep-dive on the software that shapes our devices.

Next, things get personal and surprisingly relatable as we trade stories about the realities of owning Teslas in 2025. From the headache of parking a Cybertruck in LA to the rush of chasing tax credits and timing new model releases, they unpack the true cost (and joy) of electric vehicles. The conversation gets into Tesla’s shifting lineup, what it’s really like to sell an EV in today’s market, and why even loyal Tesla fans are eyeing competitors like Rivian. The two also zoom out to speculate on where EV tech is heading, including bold predictions on humanoid robots and how AI could change our daily lives next.

This episode is a candid, wide-ranging look at what happens when friendship, business, technology, and ambition collide. If you want an inside view on the pressures of creating in public, the risks and rewards of the creator economy, and what it really takes to walk away from something you built, this is the conversation you can’t miss.
