Episode 742 : Hop on Pop Pop

YouTube link here. Let’s play thumbnail roulette!

This week, it’s all about memory. Which is bad, as ours are failing. But Tony rants about his mental health and we get another peek into the world of Grandfather William. Plus the media stuff. So a pretty well-rounded episode. If I remember correctly. Enjoy!

Episode 741 : Hat 17

YouTube link here. How does my attempt to remove the dead air look?

I’ll be honest, I went through the episode (sort of), and I can’t really find a coherent theme or agenda. We didn’t get to an email. Basically, if you listen because it’s just an excuse to hang out with those two friends who never shut up, but talk about nothing in particular… well, this will be your favorite episode. Enjoy!

This week, we learn how William’s life isn’t worth talking about, and Tony discusses random stuff that annoys him. Plus movie, TV, and game reviews. So the usual. But then we dig into the ephemeral nature of modern products, and the lengths we will or will not go to maintain the things we love. Sort of. Enjoy!
