We watched the launch.. If you guys haven't heard, Apple launched it's first "mixed-reality" headset and it's a doozy. The price alone is not entry level, this is the Vision Pro remember. We review what we've seen and what we expect with this new 'spacial computing'. The headset is set to release in 2024, which is good because we may have to save our coffee money to be able to afford it at the $3500 USD price. We are interested and hesitant in this and looking forward to what the next year leadi...

Gaurav went and did it... Something none of us want to face has been brought to the sad sad surface now, we're all spending way too much on subscriptions. Now that it's out there, we have to deal with it right? I dunno, maybe? How many of the services in this episode do you pay monthly for, we all make some sorts of sacrifices, streaming that we refuse to sign-up for or things that we can "live with out". We totaled it all up so you don't have to and if you're okay with that number, all the more...

What is happening to all our pop princesses? Is Britney under duress? So many questions, no real answers - that's what makes conspiracy so entertaining. The big theme this week is we are taking a stand against the McFlurry, just because we can and we are asking you to choose a different blended soft-serve ice cream treat next time too. Send one to Britney, maybe she'll post a tiktok of her eating a Blizzard in front of a green screen and the internet will go wild!? Thanks so much for listening! ...

"You guys are too old for Coachella!" It's true, despite our best efforts - I'm looking at you, G - we're just too old to go enjoy a festival like Coachella in person. Good thing they let us stream it! Now, if you were not into the acts or didn't know who they were, you're not alone. I'm right there with ya, but like you, I still want to hear about it and try to learn, in case I have a run-in with a "youngster" and need to sound hip!

Gaurav and I (John) have both entered our names in the women's local powerlifting competitions. We don't think either of us are stronger than any women in the competition to be clear, we are just doing it to make a fool of ourselves and to like, mock the policy? Well, that's what happened in Alberta last week and we will skirt the issue and as we tend to do, look for the most non-toxic explanations of what's really going on. We are happy you're hear to listen and hope you check us out on Instagr...

Slightly exaggerated, but isn't that the point? A few things happened at the start of this week that are now old news and you'll find them in this podcast but we'd like to focus our description on the tech review in the last 60% of the episode. We are talking about soundbars and Atmos, how does it make a difference? Is back corner better than rear surround channel?

We were so hopeful when recording this episode and now, in the future, I'm not sure if it'll ever happen? The former Commander and Thief, Donald Trump is facing charges that could end up with his arrest soon - could. There are a lot of options of which charges he's facing that will be the ones that stick, but if track record says anything, I doubt we will be so lucky.

Advertisers blow the bank to get your eyes on their products during the big game. It's when we see the biggest budget, most star-studded, ground-breaking commercials each year.

This week we are predicting James Gunn's super gamble with the new and cohesive DCU, spanning film and TV, live and animation and everything in-between.

Well, it took 125 episodes to crack us. We finally fell into Boomer territory with this one. A big promise to not make this a common occurrence. Some times you need to reflect on how things have changed in society and that positive impression of the past, whether it was actually good or not... Is called Nostalgia.

This week, we start our coverage of HBO's "The Last of Us" series, starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. The show aired last Sunday (Jan. 15th, 2023) and was the second biggest release ever on the HBO network. That could be in part to it being based on a very popular Playstation videogame of the same name from 2013. Do you need to have played the game to enjoy the show, we are going to find out. One of us (John) has played and one of us (Gaurav) hasn't. How will that effect our opinions of the...
