  • Episode 293: Fan Service

    Turns out John Ternus was never a big fan of The Rolling Stones, but he took a shot at rewriting the lyrics to one of their hit songs.

    “You can’t always get what you want...

    But if you try sometimes, well, you might find...
    You get a pro laptop that doesn’t compromise on performance and has a feature set and design that matches the needs of its end users for the first time in six years.”
    A little wordy but we like this version way better.

    This week: measuring cups, spicy tweets, and oh hey — a new laptop. 💻.

  • Episode 292: Subsidizing ESPN

    We shaved off some extra battery, chamfered some edges to give you a lean episode this week. ⚾.

    Perhaps that will give you extra time to watch baseball.

    Or you could spend it reviewing your customer sat numbers.
    Seems like as a good a time as any to make some french fries!
    Even if you don’t have fresh garlic, pretend you’re at the ballpark.
    You just need to save some for your old pal Buster.

  • Episode 291: Pet Owner Official Promise

    When the MLB inevitably shoe-horns corporate sponsors on the uniforms, we think Picco should get first dibs for the Giants. The A's get Homeroom. None of this Rakuten and Bumble nonsense.
