We have a surprise visitor in studio for this week’s Beer Pick of the Week segment…and we have a surprise Beer Pick of the Week for this week as well. You’ll never guess which state is responsible for brewing and providing this week’s pick. Exotic beers like this can only come from our awesome supporter, Larry the IT Guy (of course). Let’s also dig into Yahoo! and see how much this email provider really sucks. Yes, that’s right. We will go over the recent history of Yahoo! to expose all of the preventable compromises which have plagued this once popular service provider. Do you Yahoo!? Please don’t after listening to this episode. Then we end things off on a great note with all of the product releases which Google came out with this past week. Someone is playing that old game of “keeping up with the Jones'”. Tune in to see what Googs announced along with the juicy and savory specs, details, and availability dates of each of the products on this week’s episode.

Zoho Mail is Deep’s personal email provider of choice for many, many reasons. Take a look and dump Yahoo! like a bad ex.

Review from TheBlackSheepOnline.com

This is the Sweet 16 Episode! What makes it so sweet? Why the new Sennheiser e935 microphone, of course. Deep performs a microphone check and provides sound samples from all of the mics that have been on the show. Listen to the Blue Bluebird, Samson Q2u, and Sennheiser e935 back-to-back-to-back. Which one sounds best to you? This episode isn’t complete without an awesome Beer Pick of the Week! Find out which beer was brought in for this festive episode. Amazon recently stopped selling phones from a major phone manufacturer. Find out which manufacturer was suspended and what happened. Could Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant actually be a threat to those from Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google? We have some feedback and results from what users have been experiencing and reporting about their Bixby. Also, we have an update on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) Classic edition. There’s a new date for pre-orders. And, if you don’t get this device, we have an equally amazing gaming console which takes almost all of your old game cartridges from many different manufacturers! We end this show proper with a special guest returning to the show to do the outro and another tiny Easter egg for those who wait until the very end of the show.
