Let's Have a Conversation

The death bell hath finally tolled for Movie Pass. We have been tracking this pretty much since it's inception. We also pretty much said from the beginning it was doomed to fail... and it did. Gloriously we might add.

The title pretty much tells you all that you need to know. Elon Musk wants to "basically" nuke Mars and the raccoons will soon take over as the dolphins have left earth.

Seriously... everything sucks lately and we are not being melodramatic millennials. We talk about everything and nothing all at once. There is no good politics, no good science and no good nerditry.

We have probably hit peak nerd here. But we do our best to still keep it interesting. In this episode we discuss nuclear energy through a little known technique which makes use of Thorium. We aren't nuclear physicists, but it seems like we should be putting more effort into something like this.

Something is better than nothing, the old saying goes. But what if that something, even if done for the betterment of all, effects you personally in a negative way. Would you still say yes? What if there was a safety net where despite job loss, private insurance loss and the like you'd still be okay. No one would let you slip through the cracks. Would that make saying yes easier?

Turns out technically you can scream fire in a theater, as long as doing so doesn't incite a riot. That said, sometimes starting a riot will be overlooked if the ends justify the means... In the case of YouTube, apparently if you put butts in the seat so to speak, gratuitous behavior can be overlooked. It's not about what you say it's about what you do and in this case YouTube's actions speak louder then someone else's words...

Dude... this needs to be discussed. The leader of the United States of America is apparently going unchecked in his speeches. This is not an attempt to be partisan. If you are an American, this July 4th speech should absolutely be an embarrassment. We aren't advocating for congressional subpoenas or hearings. We aren't saying there needs to be judicial action, we just need to recognize this for what it is... embarrassing. Ramming ramparts... if it's not the next flat earth we will be disappointed.

Do you ever have a craving for crappy food? Not terrible food, just terrible for you food. The thing is... terrible for you food is 10 times worse (better) for you if it comes from the corner store where you can also get your 44 oz Mt. Dew in a paper and/or styrofoam cup. Something is different about walking into a corner and getting a crappy BBQ burrito from a hot deli case where the floor is so old and worn down that no amount of cleaning will ever make it look better.

Today in an unorthodox interview type episode we have Jon's roommate Will. Will is a musician and Will has a lot to say about what it means to be an independent musician in 2019. We also dispel some myths about music streaming support for artists and we learn something about everyone's tastes.

When the US Congress actually has bipartisan support in 2019, it means you're screwed if you're on the bad end of the legislation. Currently in the crosshairs are loot crates. We've talked about this before, but the bell tolleth soon and it may have adverse effects on one particular company...
