In this week’s episode Phil Rood takes the head mic to try his hand at hosting while Kari is stuck at home with the “Wilford Brimley Flu”.  Well, that’s at least what she sounds like.  Phil’s Doppelganger or “mini me”, Austin joins him to discuss his first viewing of the pilot episode of #HBO’s #Westworld, “The Original.”

In fiction and folklore, a doppelgänger or doppelga(e)nger (/ˈdɒpᵊlˌɡɛŋə/ or /–ˌɡæŋə/; German: [ˈdɔpəlˌɡɛŋɐ] ( listen), literally “double-goer”) is a look-alike or double of a living person, sometimes portrayed as a paranormal phenomenon, and is usually seen as a harbinger of bad luck. In other traditions and stories, they recognize one’s ‘double-goer’ as an evil twin. Doppelgaenger is a german word which also means double walker.

The word ‘doppelgänger’ is often used in a more general sense to describe any person who physically or behaviorally resembles another person. In digital marketing area this has a specific meaning which is related to brand. When someone creates a negative portrait of a particular logo/brand of an entity, it is also known as doppelganger.
