A few professional Gen X geeks dissect the tech news train wrecks of the week, calling out what went wrong and who’s to blame. Think of this podcast as if Kurt Cobain threw down with Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg in a back alley brawl.

Unfortunately, power outages and no fix until much, much later tonight will delay the release of our final episode of 2025. Expect it tomorrow - honestly, seems pretty on brand of the clusterf*ck of a year we've all had. Happy holidays everyone!
