His build up to the announcement cracked me up:
Wait is "Tim Onion" a silly joke riffing on Tim Apple (think that's his name) at Apple?
Lol yeah, except the Apple guy's name is actually Tim Cook. But then Trump called him Tim Apple and it became a meme.
Hmm nah, "Tim Cook"? I don't think that's right, pretty sure it's Tim Apple...
(tries to save face by pretending to double down on the "silly joke")
honestly it's much funnier if you weren't joking
I really wasn't with the initial comment elsewhere. Oldish brain full of too much stuff shortcutted a real vague memory straight to "yeah that guy Tim Apple" lol
I don't blame you; the fact that it was funny made everyone refer to him as such and it stuck. for years now.
