Comfort Zone

Chris has a Mac-related confession to make, Matt has to admit something about his Apple Watch, and Niléane is like, "boys, I don't think you can even handle taking your phones off silent." (She was not wrong.)
This week's Cozy Zone, we roast home screens again, and this time there weren't any hidden codes…we think.
Want more from the gang? Cozy Zone is a bonus podcast every Monday where we let loose on all sorts of fun topics. You can get cozy with the Comfort Zone crew for just $5/month or $50/year, which not only makes the bonus episodes possible, but supports Comfort Zone, too.

This week's Cozy Zone, the gang discusses what they'd do if they couldn't use Apple products anymore. We are releasing this just days after ATP did the exact same thing, but we swear we recorded this a couple weeks ago!
