E98: Kendall Roy Beats Ron Vara Like a Drum! (feat. Lauren Goode)
Amid one of the most troubling weeks in recent memory, we were joined by Friend of Nope Lauren Goode, senior writer for WIRED and host of the Gadget Lab podcast, to shut it all down. In a rapidly escalating war of words, hobgoblin Rudy Giuliani–now the subject of an ongoing counterintelligence investigation–called former national security adviser John Bolton an “atomic bomb” in response to Bolton’s assessment that Giuliani is “a hand grenade.” Meanwhile, Joe Biden maintained his steady drumbeat of terrible grandpa jokes, insisting several times this week–including at the lackluster Democratic debate–that he will beat Donald Trump “like a drum.” And Trump’s China muse, Peter Navarro, has his own muse: Ron Vara, an economist Navarro is fond of quoting, even though he doesn’t exist. WeWork’s continues to unravel, and it now must contend with cancerous phone booths and dysfunctional pineapple water dispensers. Millennials are eschewing crockery and eating off tables. A Russian man is suing because he says a cryptocurrency turned him gay. And, finally, we discuss Lauren’s column about how, in the #MeToo era, the appeal of various gadgets can no longer be divorced from the creepy behavior of their inventors.
