This episode is a classic. We talk about developing technologies after Trevor talks about the new policies of transferring Pokemon to Pokemon Home from Pokemon Go (https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/pokemon-go-pokemon-home-live-all-trainers/), and how Playstation 4 can be an extension console to the Playstation 5 (https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/9/21556803/sony-ps5-remote-play-ps4-app-streaming-games). The developing technologies are the following: self-healing wearable technology (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/electronic-skin-wearable-technology-b1646601.html), sound bubbles (https://apnews.com/article/new-tech-device-sound-beaming-noveto-38327ae5fe116080a5eaf2374eb0f5c8), and wind power generating solar tower (https://www.treehugger.com/using-solar-energy-create-wind-power-4853385). The astrophysics news is about fast radio burst (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/radio-burst-fast-galaxy-milky-way-b1590956.html).

Trevor and I discuss the Whoop (https://www.androidauthority.com/whoop-strap-review-1161259/) and Playstation app (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/358749) after Trevor reviews LG K92 5G (https://9to5google.com/2020/10/29/lg-k92-5g-price-release/). Waymo releases autonomous safety score card for Phoenix fleet (https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/30/waymo-phoenix-safety-incident-score-card-autonomous/). Most isolated massive stars are kicked out of their clusters (https://phys.org/news/2020-10-isolated-massive-stars-clusters.html)

Welcome to season 3 of the Very Hicken Bros. podcast. The reason that it is season three is because Trevor is going to launch a YouTube Channel. Nick Chao joins us. We discuss the following topics: Garmin's new esports smart watch (https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/forget-fitness-garmins-new-smartwatch-is-designed-for-esports-athletes-4105079), every PS5 launch game (https://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-5/List_of_PlayStation_5_Launch_Games), Nick's latest photography adventures, Google Play Music's death (https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/10/22/google-play-music-is-now-officially-dead-dead-dead/), the October Apple Event, KleinVision's flying car (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8888847/Futuristic-flying-AirCar-takes-skies-time.html), and a possible planet's core floats in an asteroid belt (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hubble-space-telescope-rare-asteroid-16-psyche-worth-10000-quadrillion/). Stay tuned for the bonus episode that is hinted in the episode on the Talk to You Later Show.

This episode was a little funny because Trevor starts with three third topics, and closes with two half topics, and we have three full topics in the middle.  The three third topics are the following: Final Fantasy 16's basic development completion (https://www.gamesradar.com/final-fantasy-16-update-from-square-enix-says-it-has-completed-basic-development/), Carl Pei leaves OnePlus (https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/12/carl-pei-leaves-oneplus/), Nest Thermostat includes Soli chip (https://pocketnow.com/googles-new-nest-thermostat-has-a-soli-chip-inside-and-costs-just-130). I cover Waymo annoucement (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-54476524) to serve the public before Tesla. (https://electrek.co/2020/10/12/tesla-release-full-self-driving-beta-customers-next-week/) Trevor discusses IBM's new contract with Overwatch. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/krisholt/2020/10/09/ibm-inks-its-first-ever-esports-deal-with-the-overwatch-league/) Mineral is another Alphabet company that I join in introducing to the world. (https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/12/21513353/alphabet-google-x-lab-moonshot-computational-agriculture-mineral-revealed) The following articles cover Trevor's astrophysics news: https://www.sciencealert.com/the-atmosphere-of-one-of-the-hottest-exoplanets-in-the-galaxy-is-full-of-metal and https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/black-hole-star-space-tidal-disruption-event-telescope-b988845.html.

Trevor and I researched some in-depth articles. I learned about the quantum internet (https://www.discovermagazine.com/technology/the-quantum-internet-will-blow-your-mind-heres-what-it-will-look-like), and Trevor dove deep into the operating systems of spacecraft. (https://arstechnica.com/features/2020/10/the-space-operating-systems-booting-up-where-no-one-has-gone-before/) 

The General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was so inspiring this past weekend that Trevor and I decided to make a new podcast, which we will be recording today. We discussed the following topics: the movie theater industry (https://theplaylist.net/studios-take-a-hit-cinemas-analyst-20201005/), Final Fantasy's Collection of SaGa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7uT3iT7BxA), Google's Project Soli (https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2020/9/30/21496318/google-soli-radar-motion-sense-rick-osterloh-pixel-5), Atari (https://decrypt.co/43744/atari-token-bitcoin-com-public-sale-november), the Nobel Physics Award (https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-54420240), Graphene (https://www.fastcompany.com/90560206/this-wonder-material-could-eliminate-dead-batteries-once-and-for-all), and black holes (https://www.sciencealert.com/monstrous-black-hole-has-trapped-six-entire-galaxies-in-its-gravitational-spider-web). Both Trevor and I had topics that we wanted to dive into, which were too long to research for this episode, so we are planning to record a bonus episode this weekend.
