Michael and Michael get together to do some time traveling – through cities, food, television commercials and more.  The co-hosts start things off with Google Rә (a bit of a challenge to type that in!) which lets you move through time in a Google Maps style experience, and then turn down an alley with a memory of the Pace Picante sauce commercial from 1993.

Turning to the automotive audio world, Michael and Michael marvel at Continental’s ac2ated sound system — not Lincoln Continental as Michael M first thought! — which transforms the car itself into a speaker system.  Michael R is reminded of his experience with the Bass Egg Verb which operated on much the same principle.  Moving right along to 3D doodling, Michael R sees great progress in the 3Doodler Pro Plus from his original kickstarter edition.

After talking about the Miso Robotics implementation at White Castle, a bot named Flippy, Michael and Michael turn to the world of Apple, with stories about Clips and the new Apple One services bundle launch. 

Wrapping things up for this episode with block based stories, namely Minecraft and LEGO, the co-hosts express excitement about the LEGO Star Wars holiday special due to be released next month on Disney+.
