Happy 50th, Brick Room listeners!  It’s our 50th episode.  This feels like a milestone to us and we’re pretty happy to have kept the podcast going so consistently.  We thought about doing something special to mark the occasion but then we figured, no, we’ll just save that for the 100th episode.  So today’s podcast is our usual high quality rambling.  Today we discuss CGI in movies, a social aspect of video games that used to exist but doesn’t any longer, and an unfortunate side effect of facebook and twitter on modern day life.  Grab a beer, listen in, happy anniversary.

The future is not set.  Except for this podcast because last week we said we would talk about The Terminator and, this week, we did.  The Terminator is one of the greatest movies ever.  The movie involves time travel and a major plot point of the story hinges upon a paradox.  That paradox has always bothered us but Marc has a very elegant theory about how the story can exist without a paradox.  This is a great theory and not only do we explore Marc’s theory but also how the future of The Terminator universe could have been vastly altered had the events of The Terminator gone just a little bit differently.  Grab a beer, take a listen, cheers.

Brick Room listeners, do you ever think about the world’s oldest profession?  We do, and we start this week’s podcast with a great analysis of a business that’s as old as time itself.  We then move on to discuss life as a wealthy person, Google Glass, and the current and future state of all of our smart phones and personal technology.  Give us a listen.

Welcome back Brick Room listeners.  We took last weekend off but now we’re back, and not only that, we have a special episode today.  Today’s episode comes to you from three different cities.  Marc does the podcast from San Francisco, Chris does it from San Diego, and we bring back our friend Eric who calls in from Chicago.  Eric has been on the podcast before and is an incredibly talented improviser, as well as a dear friend to both of us.  So grab your beer and sit back to listen to our three city podcast.

Howdy.  The Brick Room is back.  We are in Marc’s backyard and it’s so awesome.  We have Jameson and Ginger Ales, we have tiki torches (unlit this time but they’re still there), and we have interesting conversation.  Today we help you pick a great passcode for your phone and your different logins and we discuss the nature of illness and how to keep yourself healthy.   Also, we’re on twitter now.  Follow us here:

Thanks for listening.

Hey everyone, we’re back at the Regal Beagle and we’re drinking beer.  There is a beer you should know about called Treasure Chest which donates a portion of it’s proceeds to fight breast cancer.   We think every public interest project should be funded, in part, from beer proceeds and we discuss how NASA can capitalize on this idea to jump us forward in space technology.  We also have an interesting discussion on the future of space travel and space tourism.  Give us a listen and drink beer for society.

Deep inside the Regal Beagle.  That’s where we are today.  It’s hotter than balls outside so we are broadcasting from inside and enjoying some great air conditioning and beer. Beer is basically just air conditioning for the inside of your body.  Join us today as we discuss exploring volcanos, how to make everything cheap, how to commit crime with your suped up, super tuned car, and the next great American movie.
