Get ready for a wild ride! This week, AverageTrav and FoodieMikeC are joined by their buddy Chad, whom FoodieMikeC describes as one of the craziest speaking people he's ever encountered. AverageTrav admits he doesn't even know what he's agreed to, and they speculate about whether they'll need to edit out "questionable things" or even scrap the whole interview.
Join the chaos as they dive into a mix of topics, including discussions on retro tech history covering the introduction of the PDF format by Adobe in 1993, the release of PHP in 1995, and Compaq's first flat panel display in 1997. They also touch on the Unity game engine from 2005.
The conversation includes gaming adventures in Clash Royale, where FoodieMikeC met Chad and another friend named Alex. They recount starting in a clan called Valhalla and moving to another where the members were described as "pretty fucked up". Their current clan is called "uncut hogs", a name that sounds "kind of dirty". Chad explains his goal in the game is to get opponents to join their clan just to talk shit after a match. This activity has led to three of his accounts being banned. They reminisce about other games and gaming history, like the Game Boy Color announcement and Crazy Taxi 2, and discuss a "cartridge conundrum" related to Project Natal for the Xbox 360. FoodieMikeC also shares a story about his older brother ruining Diablo by rubbing poop on the disc.
The pop culture rewind segment hits movies like WarGames (starring Matthew Broderick), Star Trek 3: The Search for Spock, The Goonies, and Dead Poets Society (starring Robin Williams), described as a "heavy movie". They also touch on FX channel's launch and evolution, the crime drama The Wire, and cooking shows like Hell's Kitchen (mentioning a friend who was a finalist) and the beloved Unwrapped on Food Network. On the music front, they discuss albums from Prince, Sublime, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Metallica, and Eminem, plus Usher's "Burn".
In the always-unpredictable Airmail segment, prepare for a taste test of bizarre soda flavors, specifically pickle and barf, sent in by a listener, along with pickle roulette Sour Punch Bites. They bravely try them, with "Barf is better than pickle, people" becoming a takeaway.
Adding another layer of weirdness, the guys ponder if they themselves might just be AI or scripted, a joke inspired by their experiments with AI, such as trying to get ChatGPT to use cuss words and a listener-sent AI-generated song featuring Eminem and Adele. They discuss the increasing capabilities and potential issues with AI. They also look ahead to their big Back to the Future 40th anniversary block party event happening on July 3rd, 2025, in Wellington, which will include a free movie screening, food, a beer garden, and vendors.
Tune in for the unpredictable banter, questionable jokes, and exploration of retro and nerdy topics. They are also now part of the Collector's Maze network.
