1. USB 8 “Applephone” feel free to roll your eyes at the cleverness of that, but first we must ask you to put your iPhone down (if you can).

His voice may well be so gravelly you could park your car on it, but it's also perfect for telling stories - no matter what he's saying, you feel trapped inside a glamourous 50s gangster B-movie.
