I'm sure they're doing their best episodes

  • 78 - I'm sure they've got thick margins

    Paul invests in the Podcast to "fix an audio problem." Drew is out of quarantine and glad. Paul reviews a new keyboard, and Drew is very surprised. Paul watched "The Queen's Gambit" and Drew makes a few other recommendations. Paul tries a Big Sur OS feature, to which Drew disagrees. Finally, the boys' hype is reaching a fever pitch for Cyberpunk 2077.

    The boys recap a "2020 Thanksgiving." Paul describes how he brined a turkey. Paul gives impressions of his (wife's) MacBook Air with the new M1 chip. Drew isn't so sure about Mac OS Big Sur, but Paul is. Drew thanks Paul for the gift of MBMBaM. The boys talk about Cyberpunk, both the upcoming video game they're both excited for and the tabletop RPG. Drew binged "The Queen's Gambit" and has some opinions. Finally, the boys gear up for another round of holiday gift buying for each other.

  • 74 - I'm sure their lamb lights up

    The boys try and mix up their podcast recording setup on the fly, with disastrous results. More politics and election night updates, in which Drew had a special work assignment. Drew has to assuage Paul's misgivings about an Apple product. One of the hosts secures a Nvidia 3090 video card, but not before almost succumbing to scalpers. Also, Drew's Computer Corner makes a dubious return to the program. Paul has an update on his belts. The boys talk about the new AMD 5000 series processors. Drew updates his car software.
