Let's Have A Conversation

The title pretty much tells you all that you need to know. Elon Musk wants to "basically" nuke Mars and the raccoons will soon take over as the dolphins have left earth. #Mars #ElonMusk #Nuclear #Bomb #Atmosphere #SpaceElevator #Exoplanet #Podcast #Conversation

Seriously... everything sucks lately and we are not being melodramatic millennials. We talk about everything and nothing all at once. There is no good politics, no good science and no good nerditry.  #Nothing #Everything #Podcast #Conversation

We have probably hit peak nerd here. But we do our best to still keep it interesting. In this episode we discuss nuclear energy through a little known technique which makes use of Thorium. We aren't nuclear physicists, but it seems like we should be putting more effort into something like this. #Thorium #Salt #Nuclear #Energy #Environment #Conversation #Podcast

Something is better than nothing, the old saying goes. But what if that something, even if done for the betterment of all, effects you personally in a negative way. Would you still say yes? What if there was a safety net where despite job loss, private insurance loss and the like you'd still be okay. No one would let you slip through the cracks. Would that make saying yes easier? #Environment #Global #Warming #Carbon #Neutral #Clean #Air #Co2 #Podcast #Conversation

Turns out technically you can scream fire in a theater, as long as doing so doesn't incite a riot. That said, sometimes starting a riot will be overlooked if the ends justify the means... In the case of YouTube, apparently if you put butts in the seat so to speak, gratuitous behavior can be overlooked. It's not about what you say it's about what you do and in this case YouTube's actions speak louder then someone else's words... #YouTube #Twitch #Policy #EULA #Hypocrisy #Bullying #Podcast #Conversation

Dude... this needs to be discussed. The leader of the United States of America is apparently going unchecked in his speeches. This is not an attempt to be partisan. If you are an American, this July 4th speech should absolutely be an embarrassment. We aren't advocating for congressional subpoenas or hearings. We aren't saying there needs to be judicial action, we just need to recognize this for what it is... embarrassing. Ramming ramparts... if it's not the next flat earth we will be disappointed. #Independence #Day #America #4th #July #Speech #Ramming #Ramparts #Airports #Podcast #Conversation

Do you ever have a craving for crappy food? Not terrible food, just terrible for you food. The thing is... terrible for you food is 10 times worse (better) for you if it comes from the corner store where you can also get your 44 oz Mt. Dew in a paper and/or styrofoam cup. Something is different about walking into a corner and getting a crappy BBQ burrito from a hot deli case where the floor is so old and worn down that no amount of cleaning will ever make it look better. Bonus if the faint smell of incense wafts through the place. #Corner #Store #Food #Mom #Pop #Burrito #Soda #Conversation #Podcast

Today in an unorthodox interview type episode we have Jon's roommate Will. Will is a musician and Will has a lot to say about what it means to be an independent musician in 2019. We also dispel some myths about music streaming support for artists and we learn something about everyone's tastes. #Independent #Music #Streaming #Interview #Podcast #Conversation

When the US Congress actually has bipartisan support in 2019, it means you're screwed if you're on the bad end of the legislation. Currently in the crosshairs are loot crates. We've talked about this before, but the bell tolleth soon and it may have adverse effects on one particular company... #EA #Loot #Crate #Legislation #Congress #US #Podcast #Conversation 

Yep, it's pretty plainly written. And it's the truth. We pick on facebook, our favorite corporate entity that connects friends and family, but also mentally destroys them and the people who moderate the content. The cure would be the nuclear bomb of the Information Age.  #Information #Age #Tech #Politics #Facebook #Social #Media #PTSD #Broken #Podcast #Conversation

This one weird trick could save you up $10,000 dollars. Listen here to learn how. Seriously though, how much are you willing to fork over for tech that statistically you aren't going to use? But why wouldn't you use it? Because it's not as fast or as intuitive as your phone. Comparing infotainment centers in a car to your phone. It's basically the old Nokia brick phones. If you're paying up to $10,000 it better come with Snake, just sayin'. Everyone loved Snake. #Nokia #Snake #Infotainment #Automakers #Tech #Fail #Podcast #Conversation

To some, it sounds like Jon is high. He may actually be high. He's a hard read. But he is right about one thing. You're the problem. That's right, Jon has gone full corporatist and the problem with the environment these days is that you as an individual don't do enough. Conveniently Jon and his corporate cronies all have the solution.

The title says it all. The recent glut of abortion bills passed by a few different states has, deservedly so, received a lot of negative attention. We do our best to wrap our heads around this, but we lack obvious perspective. Forgive our ignorance, but we figure the more we talk about this the more people hear.  #Abortion #Alabama #Vote #Representatives #Conversation #Podcast

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS!!!! Is the official Endgame spoiler moratorium over, because we don't care! But if you do care, don't listen. We actually talk about the MCU as a whole, but we do talk about Endgame, so be warned. What's your favorite Marvel movie pre or post Disney? #MCU #Disney #Avengers #Endgame #Conversation #Podcast

To whomever takes pride in their yard or house as an expression of where they live. Or in the way they dress and present themselves. Even down to the makeup they do or don't wear. To the person for whom it has taken every ounce and fiber of their being as sweat pours from their forehead and they faint from exhaustion as they exhale all of the oxygen from their lungs just to painstakingly eek out a single drawn line on a piece of paper with a ballpoint pen. This episode is for you... artist!  Today's episode hits close to home as people who all have a stake in the art world. Art takes time, often money, and a lot of effort on the part of the artist. Yet, compensation for art is often scoffed at. We encourage everyone to take a second and consider what does expression mean to you and how much worth would you assign to that expression. We primarily explore music in this episode, but there is art all around us. We have all expressed ourselves in some way. Some people freely give away pieces of their art... you're

Waaaaay late to game in reporting this one... Foxconn, the large electronics manufacture from Taiwan, is one of the many corporations offered insane incentives to move business to a specific geographic location. Well, sometimes the deal just doesn't fall through. But the citizens are left holding the tax bag. It's called, a race to the bottom. #Economics #Foxconn #Wisconsin #Podcast #Conversation

Yet another streaming service... Disney has officially announced it's streaming service, Disney+. Jon and Charly do a comparison and consider what this means for the streaming world as a whole. Have we hit peak streaming? Time will tell. #Disney #Streaming #Pricing #Competition #Podcast #Conversation

The price of fragmentation is to damn high! Subscription services are getting to be too much. Not that competition is bad, but exclusivity kills competition. In an attempt to kill the competition fragmentation through exclusivity has taken hold and the only people dying are the consumer.   #Streaming #Games #Steam #Epic #Exclusivity #Podcast #Conversation

Guess who's back? Back again... Tell a friend. Wait before we get taken down for plagiarism let's just get on with it. After a long "break" we are back with more podcasts! Enjoy! #Pig #Catch #Up #Podcast #Conversation
