In this episode of the podcast it appears that Big Brother may have been listening to us recording, as Wade's entire neighborhood decided to go dark with a large power outage soon after we stared talking about a potential vaccination mandate for America's food supply chain front line workers...that being said, apologies for the last minute or so; Wade had to hop back on with his cell phone, and it sounds rough! We also pay tribute to Michael K Williams, discuss the impact of The Wire, and talk some all around actors/entertainment. #MichaelKWilliams #VaccinationMandate  #FoodSupplyChain #TheWire #TheSopranos #Boardwalk Empire #HBO #Acting #PowerOutage #Entertainment Photo Credit:  (Jesse Dittmar/For The Times)

Episode 156 - Omar Is Comin'...And So Is Uncle Sam.

As we begin to see the early stages of automation become a regularity in the retail and food service world, we ask the question:  Is full automation of these businesses right around the corner, or just a mirage beyond these industrial horizons? There are an increasing number of gamers and twitch viewers that are playing/streaming Farming Simulator/similar games.  Gunnar and Wade dive into this phenomenon and offer a potential entrepreneurial endeavor that shows the dark side of the farming life, in game form.   All this a more on this weeks episode!

Episode 155 - McAutolds's and the REAL Farming Simulator

China has decided to institute a new rule to limit it's children gaming time.  Interestingly enough, they have given no options as what to do with their free time.  On top of that, the Chinese government has cracked down on the 996 employee culture.  Did they do a solid for the Chinese worker, or just create a more abusive work culture? So the end of extended unemployment in most of the US have ended.  Will the American work force be able to go back to the way it was?  Or is it going to take a rise in wages to get our country back to work?  In either event, it would appear that US companies, and the consumers, are in for a rough ride. All this and so much more on this week's episode!

Can We Find Our Way Back To Work? The New Chinese 996

Crack Santa returns! Can American and the rest of the West kick it's addiction to cheap electronics?  For that matter, can China kick its addiction to exploiting it's citizen's for a source of cheap labor.  Will Chinese companies continue to operate under the terms of a knockoff hybrid between The Lord of the Rings and Lord of The Flies; or will they continue to believe that there can only be "One Stamp To Rule It All"? Although the evacuation of Afghanistan is "complete", the political arguments on social media begin to heat up.  More and more misinformation begins to spread.  As lines are drawn, and sides are taken, some harsh realities being to set in.   Texas...WTF. #ChineseMagicStamp  #ARM #NVidia #misinformation #abortion #nopermitnoproblem #toughpilltoswallow #donttreadonme #Austincalling  #CrackSantaSaviours #ReturnOfTheCrackSanta #BugOut #TexasWTF  

Episode 153 - The Magical Chinese Business Conch and The Texas 666

We didn't (at least Wade didn't) believe it was possible.  Talking about professional wrestling for almost an hour.  We of course added some porn news to ensure there was a bit of extra spice. There being said, there was a bit of an issue with Wade's mic during the recording, apologies in advance, no filter/compressing could fix it. #TheCreamRisesToTheTOP #WWEvsAEW #WWE #OnlyFansInTrouble  Photo: ©WWE, Inc.

Episode 152 - The Cream Rises To The Top

Are American astronauts guilty of sabotaging a Russian space station?  Or is Russia just continuing it's shady  fuccboi behavior?   As the reported cases of COVID-19 start to spike in parts of the U.S. and the Delta variant spreads more and more, what can America do to stave off/avoid another shut that would further damage an already reeling economy while ensuring the safety of it's citizens? Although America did not ask for a sequel to the Vietnam work, it looks as if that is what is currently playing out on our televisions and social media screens.  Could this have been avoided?  Did Biden just Thanos our alliance with Afghanistan?  Will the sequel be so bad that it goes straight to DVD?! #Afghanistan #TalibanMaskOff #Vietnam2 #COVID19 #TalibanCanTallyDzNutz #Russia #AstronautVsCosmonaut #Polygraph #ChineseDemocrocyInAfghanistan #TwiceAsLongToLearnFromRussia Image 2021 Tribune Content Agency - Stantos

151 - One Fifty Fun

On a special episode we bid a bittersweet farewell to to one of the Friendship Snake tripods, Tres.   Is Apples new new CSAM "fingerprint" recognition software a major break in helping to identify people that prey on children; or an unintended precursor to the dystopian future from The Minority Report?   Are countries just measuring dicks at the Olympics, or are medal counts correlated with global positioning? Belarus went the way of the Honey Badger and offed a political activist..."allegedly", then tell tells its self to hold it's beer by attempting to "disappear" one of it's Olympic sprinter's after criticizing her coaches. #3years #CSAM #MinorityReport #Orwellian #tripod2biopod #Apple #Precog #Olympics #OlympicDictatorMeasuring #ElonMusk  Image 2002 20th Century Fox
