          This week we kick off with Simon, who has some final updates regarding his antiquated technology devices and has finally used Apple Pay for the first time.

          Speaking of which: Mark’s visit to the pub leads to a discussion about how the hosts are finding Apple Pay six weeks after launch and what they all make of Samsung’s recently launched — although not imaginatively named — Samsung Pay (in South Korea, at least).

          Meanwhile, Richard reveals the deck may be stacked against him in delaying his parents’ desire to upgrade to Windows 10.

                                        This week’s show goes off the rails with the trio of hosts deciding to pivot their podcast into a meth lab.

Things take a turn for the worse when trying to understand Snapchat.

                                        In the after-show Richard lets you all hear his “deep dish” voice.
