He's definitely the guy at the gym walking around shouting on phone calls so everyone can see how important he is.

I'm picturing the scene in Freddy Got Fingered where Tom Green is on a date but brought his dad's landline phone to pretend to be an important business man.
"You sent it to Helsinki?! You're fucking fired, Bob! You're fucking fired!"
Or does weird flexes and karate moves in front of the mirror.
"leading the charge in AI marketing"
Oh just say you're a con artist, it's less gross.
One of my little hobbies when LinkedInLunatics comes up is to immediately look at their title.
It relates to AI more often than not.
Yes, that’s insane. Just get one set and carry them with you?
But always carrying one set is for plebs.
So what do you call someone who doesn't even have a single one?
Well, a pleb just like us.
😔I guess I am a lowly pleb then
Same. :)
This is what happens when you mix brand loyalty, with to much money and executive dysfunction
Either a weird flex or humble brag that he can afford all of those
"I had around $1000 at one point" is definitely a weird flex.
For airpods, I'll call it a weird flex. On the one hand, knows what he likes. On another, why not try different products? Oh right, status symbol.
I have a pair of earbuds in each of my two vehicles, a pair at work and a pair at my desk at home, but my earbuds cost $20 a pair
Are they wired? Like if they're staying in the same place they might as well be wired.
That is a desktop PC of extra cost, to solve something a dedicated pocket would fix.
I thought this was a cool ADHD life hack but then I saw what comm I was in.
I mean... It is a great ADHD hack.... I have pairs in specifics places for specific devices. But not nearly as pricey as air pods.
Lol, should I be impressed? I own a pair of Apple AirPod Pro's, bought them in part because I worked with a MacBook at the time and admittedly they worked together very well. They now live somewhere in a drawer, to be forgotten for all eternity, as that is the only fate they deserve.
Sound quality (music)? Might be taste, but nothing to write home about.
Reliably connecting with anything that's not an Apple product? Lol
Firmware upgrades if you don't own an Apple phone? Rofl
Had to return them twice because of a manufacturing error (there even was an official replacement program) and Apple, being the cheap-ass SoB's they are, would only replace the right pod as that one had issues. So of course two weeks after my set was returned the left one started acting up as well.
But the cherry on top: the other reason I bought them was the noise cancelling. It was during Covid and I would work in the same room as my GF, so being able to not having to listen in on her calls was necessary for me. The original pods had fantastic noise cancelling, where the replacements did an absolutely and utterly shitty job. The most important feature, the justification for their existence: removed. Great job Apple, great job.
Never again.
Sorry for the rant, the hatred runs deep I guess.
I don't understand why you'd want to wear these for all activities. I'm very happy plugging in a wired over ear headphones with mic for work and leaving them there.
Damn this dude has at least $1000. I'm so wet.
They don't know my buds are more expensive than AirPods
I also have multiple pairs for different uses. Not airpods, but normal Bluetooth earbuds. Mostly because I got cheap ones and somehow one side always stops working and I need to have a working pair for the gym.
You would think he would be in cybersecurity and paranoid to have multiple earbuds. But no
His tag line says he's leading the charge in AI marketing, he is but another grifter.
Just charging them all would be a nightmare.
I mean I do this but with packs of JVC Gumis I stocked up on when they were $5 each in 2016
How I'm told I should feel over having a charger in my room, the living room, my car, and at work, and trying to keep it that way when someone(almost never me) gives them away or loses them. If I give up on any, I'll soon have none, the way things work around here.
I think it's more about the very steep cost of air pods compared to, say, chargers. I think it's perfectly fine to have multiple, especially since they're usually used for charging multiple devices. Air pods aren't as universal.
Oh no, I don't get flack about this on the internet, from friends, workmates, clients or strangers. I'll leave it there though, with the exception that I don't buy any bricks or car-chargers besides the Anker ones anymore.
This last week I got some $60 3-in-1/"portable" non-sense for work. Open-box, but still, I've turned an un-healthy corner of leaning-into the character my family thinks I am in yet-another facet of financial-irresponsibility.
Multiple sets? Fine. Multiples of the same type? Weird. Over ear, in ear, bone conducting, etc. All have their place.
This is one part of the post.
EDIT: This is the other part of the post that I actually want you to interact with, but I'm adding it later to make it look like a casual reply to the comments.
