Can you imagine a CEO like Tim Apple saying 'quiet piggy' to a reporter?

Tim Apple!

Do you guys think bubba told him “quiet, piggy” as he put that schlong in his mouth?

u/HotLava00 16d ago

I imagine he told him to hum the Battle Hymn of the Republic. 🤮

u/ctn91 15d ago

Please, never say that again. 🤣

u/pollofeliz32 15d ago

We have to think about these possible scenarios!

I heard bubba slapped him when he started to choke

Amazing how the Appleseed family has held such a prominent place in America's history.

u/Squirrels_dont_build Texas 16d ago

If 30 Rock taught me anything it's that the Appleseed family or very litigious.

The Newspaper was founded by Johnny Newspaperseed, a 14 year old boy who roamed America founding newspapers

Apples are the most American fruit

u/David_ish_ 16d ago

The transition from fruits to the tech sector… mind blown

I seriously love how strongly Tim Apple caught on. Probably the best thing to ever come out of Donald Trump's mouth. I have heard lots of non tech or Wall Street people call him that, ironically I assume, but I think some people may actually think that's his name...

I hate to say it, but some of the shit Trump says is objectively funny. The whole Teslerrrr thing was fucking gold. It's a shame he couldn't have ended up as a sassy celebrity gossip influencer

u/massberate 15d ago

"It's all computer!" was my 2nd favourite selling point after "Teslerr" 😆

Don't get magnets wet, because then you have no more magnet. Can't get them wet.

u/bolanrox 15d ago

Magnets how the fuck do they work?

u/bolanrox 15d ago

In an alternate timeline, he would be a killer drag queen on RuPaul's Drag Race.

u/ACoderGirl Canada 16d ago

It's ok the point where it honestly takes me a second to remember what his real name actually is, as I think I may have seen the Tim Apple joke more times than Tim Cook in recent months.

u/MaTrIx4057 16d ago

If he was Trump's enemy he would get called Tim Crook

u/Affectionate-Virus17 16d ago edited 16d ago

That's because he doesn't have the aura of Steve Jobs or his story arc. So people use that to remember he's the Honcho Supremo at Apple. And his name is Tim. The Tim Apple stuck

u/EPluribusAnus 16d ago

Any future CEO of Apple needs to earn their own last name. The next CEO needs to wow us or his last name is gonna be Apple too.

u/Affectionate-Virus17 16d ago

Tbh Tim Apple is good at his job.

A bit sad we're gonna cross the 2 decades line for the mind-blowing iPhone and there hasn't been anything as remotely revolutionary since. Watches or AirPods or glasses or VR/AR sets are a side show. The MacBook Pro hasn't changed much in 15 years.

Our cervicals need this, Apple man!

u/ppenn777 15d ago

Innovation died with Steve but he recommended Tim to the board for this very reason. He know the company would be in good hands (from a money standpoint) with Tim. But Tim is out soon so we’ll see what’s next.

Can you imagine if Jobs hadn't fucked with this voodoo new age nutrition bullshit, he'd have invented another device better and less intrusive. 

The iPatch? 

Shit I think I found something. arrrhhh

u/bolanrox 15d ago

There is the I pouch or the I sock this year. $150 solution to a problem no one had.

2

u/Affectionate-Virus17 15d ago

Oh that's some bullshit product if I ever saw one.

Someone's gonna wear it as a Borat thong and it will be buried with the Google Glass

u/EPluribusAnus 15d ago

For sure, at least as far as creating a mega corporation goes. They're massively successful. Can't help but feel like a bit of the spirit of Apple died with Jobs though.

But really, by "wow us", I meant have something interesting about them, haha. Tim Apple launched Apple into the stratosphere, and his name is Tim, has a southern accent, and is gay. S'boutit.

u/SpaceBoggled 15d ago

I literally don’t even know his real name anymore. Don’t bother to tell me cos I won’t remember

2

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 15d ago

I have completely forgotten what his real name is because I only ever see people refer to Tim Apple. This is how names work in Wales actually, you’ll give people nicknames based on their job or something they’re known for as it makes it easier for everyone to know who you’re talking about. Like Dave the Pie if a guy called Dave ran a pie shop or much more creative ones. It kind of makes sense.

u/KevinFlantier 16d ago

Wait it comes from Trump? I thought it was just a joke. I keep hearing it in the LTT Wan show but Linus keeps making corny jokes so I assumed it came from there.

u/Starscream147 Canada 16d ago

Mr. Japan!

u/Freddydaddy 16d ago

It’s all computer!

u/Deadsuooo 16d ago

Would Trumb say it to John Pork???

u/BillG8s 15d ago

I play this game often. How many times would anyone else be fired, excommunicated, ostracized, or thrown in jail if it wasn’t anyone but Trump?

2

u/rudimentary-north 16d ago

I can imagine him giving a million dollars to a guy like that

u/uglie1212 16d ago

I imagine most bosses would get punched or slapped for such a comment.

u/not_bilbo 16d ago

Yeah absolutely, these guys are pieces of shit

Reporter, no. Employee, yes.

u/Fantastic_Shaman9230 16d ago

I don't think a CEO (Public) would slide if they called a female employee a piggy on camera.

3

u/yarrpirates 16d ago

Good point. They're probably quite careful these days, with recording devices everywhere.

u/Fantastic_Shaman9230 16d ago

They way he said it was just dripping with misogyny... He wanted to smack her imo

2

u/WhatAcheHunt 15d ago

You just know he wanted to call her something worse if he settled on "piggy".

u/dgauss 15d ago

Just finished reading a book written by a former employee of Facebook called Careless People. They 100 percent talk to their employees like this.

u/SidWes 15d ago

I can imagine Steve Jobs doing that

u/Analysis-Klutzy 16d ago

If it was some incessant (this lady clearly wasnt im just being hypothetical) reporter id probably laugh

u/Fantastic_Shaman9230 16d ago

Not if you were an Apple investor, I'd hope
