Blowing Up!

Nathan and Kristen talk with podcaster and drone enthusiast Jon Baca about drones of all sizes and purposes. We dip into the broad history of drones as we bring the discussion right up to the implications and controversies of the present and near-future. We cover hobby, military, and photography drones as well as the newly-announced Ehang 184 passenger drone, Amazon Prime Air delivery drones, and Google Project Wing. Check out Jon's other podcast Weird Wiki World at weirdwikiworld...

What can we say about hoverboards? They hover, right? They're made of...2x4s? We answer all of the questions you could possibly have about these trendy new transportation sticks which are blowing up everywhere. Special guest Brianne Reynolds from Jurassic Parts and After Ever After joins us to discuss! ]]>

If you're tired of shipping your enemies glitter, why not send your loved one a mystery potato this valentine's day? Mysterypotato.com has you covered! The price comes about 12 bucks, wait until you hear what you GET! No, seriously... No special guest this week, and it gets a little weird. Listen with a loved one.

Veve returns for this special exploration of hot as s*#$ products: Tushy (toilet bidet) Squatty Potty Poo Pourri Flushable wet wipes (again) Plus we check back in on the Mystery Potato Kristen sent to her spudly manfriend.

The website that dares (*dared?) to combine your favorite unrelated concepts to to make them better (?). Tinder and AirBnb; Ok Cupid and Couch Surfers; Christian Mingle and Silence of the Lambs.

On this episode we look at websites, apps, and browser extensions designed to get you to stuff and achieve your goals. Aaron Espinosa joins us to discuss Stickk, pactapp (formerly gympact), and Go &$!*ing Work! Warning: More swearing than usual on this one, especially for the last topic.

On this week's episode we review turtlecalls.com, where you can receive a "turtle call." Make sense? We also talk about who looks like a turtle, whether modern day humans ever answer their phones, sexism in using "man" as a verb, and I make way too many references to the Ted Cruz sex scandal for some reason... Please make a point to listen to this podcast before your eventual and inevitable death!]]>

Burger King becomes Hot Dog King with their new food "innovations." We boldly explore the BK frontier, journaling our adventures like Lewis and Clark and his other brother Clark. We try the "classic," the "chili cheese," and the "chicken fries rings" (nice double plural there). We also have fries, nuggets, and an apple pie. Listen now, or forever hold your chicken fries.]]>

Would you eat in the nude? Would you eat it with a dude? Would you try it in the buff, without clothes covering your stuff? WARNING: This episode is dirtier and grosser than usual. More swears too! You've been warned. ]]>

Computers and machines are getting better all the time, but are robots? Nope. Not necessarily. We talk about Kickstarter failure called Jerry: A Personal Robot. We also talk about the short and happy life of Hitchbot Comb-over and an in intriguingly mysterious device called the Gobone (Go bone).
