How you get viruses and spam, Obama goes to SXSW, Clinton vs Clinton

Spammers blur the line between human and machine.Gun interacts with a spammer, Tech explains how the conversation works, and how most people get viruses. They move from there into politics. Neither of them appreciate how America is spending military funds and resources, but they don’t agree on the what and how the military should be run.

Gun reminds us that we can verbally abuse spammers without being culturally insensitive. Obama skips out on attending Nancy Reagan’s funeral to hang out with the cool kids at South by Southwest. One brother is cool with that, the other is conflicted.

Episode 78: Apple vs FBI, Gun defends Hilary from Tech, and Kanye for Prez in 2020

This episode has it all. Gun Sully is back from his world tour, rested and ready to roll, but in the middle of a deluge. Tech Sully is fired up. He is enraged about Trump and Obama pushing for Apple to weaken the security on their devices.

Later Gun defends Hillary from Tech’s rant, and the brothers round out the episode talking about how Kanye’s lyrics are at least as defensible as anything from the grunge era. Tech raves about the track “Famous” from the new album, and pledges to be Kanye’s 2020 campaign manager.

That said I don’t think either brother believes that Taylor Swift is famous because of Kanye at all.

We hit New Hampshire, fix immigration, and cover email in 20 minutes

The brothers had to roll through this one quick, Gun is in Manila and the roaming charges will likely be brutal. Tech of course didn’t get the memo and wound up in DC. I hope he at least water’s Gun’s plants while he’s there.

They cover the upsets in the New Hampshire primary, and Tech gives a preview of the minicast he’s doing about the email server scandals, and why they matter.

Gun gives a well reasoned rant on how immigration should be fixed, and why both the GOP and the Democrats have it wrong.

Dirty tricks in Iowa, hey did Cruz actually win?

The brothers break down the nitty gritty dirty deeds of the Iowa caucus. Ted Cruz can’t get arrested there without Trump’s name being in the news.

Watch this space for a breakdown of the Clinton email “thing” and why you should pay attention.

Gun Sully comes up with a plan for gun control, Tech looks into why the HRC backed HRC.

For some reason the Human Rights Campaign backed Hilary Rodham Clinton, which is odd since Sanders has a stellar human rights record by their own metric. Tech Sully looked outside his normal sources of information for opinions on that. Gun Sully has outlined a plan for using technology to track and apprehend criminals.

Podcast – We solve the Oregon issue, sing firework to Kim Jong Un and talk about guns

We cover the Oregon standoff and and the end of the podcast Tech has an impromptu interview with a friend of Gun’s. The interview gets off to a bit of a rocky start because Tech didn’t know anyone was going to be calling, and we’re reasonably sure the interviewee can’t tell them apart!

We correct an error, Gun recovers and Tech preps for the holidays

Tech fixes the stat he got wrong last week. Gun is recovering from some sort of flu. They swap jury duty war stories and talk about the Democrat Debate.

They cover that it costs money and lives to take out nations and maybe our next president could save money if they would work toward nation building instead of dictator toppling.

Then Gun devolves back into his fever dream of Wookies an Life-day. Tech found it best to humor him and let him rest.
