So long, and thanks for all the pandas.
After Batterygate brings us to the realization that Apple is the corporate equivalent of a woman in tech, we try to distract ourselves with Switch games before making an announcement about the show.
With Georgia unable to work her new house and Bri's car in the shop, we look at other things that broke this week, like net neutrality and Patreon.
With more disturbing stories from Congress and Facebook opening up their platform to six year olds, we decide we'd be better off just letting Bri run all the industries.
Bri suffers through Justice League in the name of marital balance, Steve tries to justify paying for a Street Fighter Transformer, and Georgia copes with her new reality of his and hers VR rooms.
With Georgia off moving into her personal Holodeck, Bri drives Steve around town in her new car to talk about video games at high speed.
Georgia finally realizes how bad the US government is thanks to Facebook's nude photo collection, Bri doesn't need any stinking lootboxes to own people in Star Wars Battlefront, and Steve discovers just how far his robot hero has fallen.
In a week full of things we're happy about, we take the time to settle the big questions, like how to get your dog to send Animojis, and the legitimacy of Princess Peach's claim to the throne.
We destress from trying (and failing) to find empathy with racist Uber riders by gushing over the cast of the live action Lion King movie.
In which we look to Wolfenstein to take the fight to the Nazis, and to Apple to allow us to preorder the iPhone X to save us from bad Pixel screens.
Since an AI writing Scrubs scripts is clearly ushering in the end of civilization, we decide to spend all our cash on loot boxes. (It seemed like a good plan at the time.)
In which we long for a buggy Google Home Mini in the Facebook office, in the hopes it would surreptitiously record the meeting that left us with VR cartoon avatars in Puerto Rico.
In which we look to Star Trek's future to be our unicorn chaser after reading the expose on Breitbart and white nationalism.
In which we figure out the best web sites to mine for cryptocurrency so we can afford the plane tickets for our dogs.
The internet's Jessica Dennis is back to call out Bri for bailing on her Apple Watch, while Mikah and Georgia try to figure out how to hold secret grudges with one another.
We're here just in time to help you decide which new Apple products to buy with the proceeds from your lawsuits against Equifax.
In which R2D2 arrives at Georgia's house, with the secret plans for Disney's new streaming service. (Just don't tell her children.)
We reject the new VR dating show because of its embarrassing lack of Borg integration, shark drones, and coconut related fatalities. (But the new Star Wars toys are pretty cool.)
This week, we take a tour of all the horrors of the internet, where we drive an Apple designed car while wearing an internet connected shock bracelet, and decide whether we'd rather be murdered by AI robots or live in the stomach of Yoshi.
Who wants to discuss American Nazis? Not us, but we’ll do it anyway. Also, speaking of abominations - we cover pop rocks burritos.
