In this shortish holiday weekend episode we look at things and talk about them, also we discuss how TV will kill you, who are these "scientists" you hear about, Facebook messing with your head, Photoshoppery and cashcats.
Depressing followups followed by Dave Chappelle, tentacle porn, Etsy, Sexy Filler, Disturbing texts, Nerds getting some action, giant stone vaginas, Walt's boner, and how to make sweet love to your iPad.
Jessica is not dead yet, Raccoons at the White House, Cat Owners From Hell, A brand new Cross My Heart Hope To Die Song, One Direction Erotic Fanfic, Dinosaur Erotic Fanfic, Bigfoot Erotic Fanfic
Animal friends, more Slender Man, Flesh Lights, stolen girls gym uniforms, pervs in Japan, criminal judges, prisons, orange is the new black, Ghostbusters and stuff Sean bought this week. And more background noise (sorry). Show notes at vivariot.com
Making a legit go at a regular schedule here - Sean and Jessica talk about Godzilla, Uber, Slender Man, Tiananmen Square, neglecting your kids, heavy metal, make-up and trashy reality TV
Kind of a new format here, Sean and Jessica talk about Lyft, Florida, LARPers, Fake Good Coffee, Soylent, Software replacing people, Blacklist, Walking Dead, Zombies and Hannibal all the while being interrupted by the gardener.
Rather than the usual "I hung out with XXX and talked about XXX" this episode is just the audio from a talk I gave this morning at Mailchimp Headquarters in Atlanta Georgia. The talk was about me, and what I do and what I've done covering music and design and web and Safecast and more. I'll upload the slides from the talk to slideshare.net/seanbonner so you can follow along at home.
Another episode from Tokyo, this time I talk to filmmaker Adrian Storey about some of the darker sides of Japanese culture, racism, privacy, encryption, PGP, ecigs, smoking, and some of what he's been up to recently.
I spend some time chatting with TV writer Jessica Gao about gutter ethnic food, the shows she's been working on, martial arts, poop, robot toilets, technology and parents. It's a blast.
Running with the "hang out with old friends and talk about a bunch of crap" theme that I established in episode 001, here I catch up with Matt Alt while in Tokyo and we talk about early world wide web communities, super robots, radioactive shakes, Japan, and lots more.
