We run down the stories of the week with special guest host Julio Ojeda-Zapata and we all have a chuckle when the talk turns to Republican Presidential candidate Jeb Bush’s reaction to receiving a call on his Apple Watch. The Nerdery’s new CEO, Best Buy’s holiday results, Senator Franken’s letter to Google, and Julio’s summary of Minnesota companies at CES also figure in the mayhem.
