In some ways this could have been a Moronic Monday show given that we ended up talking about some really stupid things that everyone is getting all excited about even though we’re not sure why. A bonus for Sean was that he could tell me that it’s all because it’s Apple – which seems to becoming his favorite saying.

Oh and we have a bonus for you tonight.

Sean may hate Moronic Monday’s because of the damage he says it does to what remains of his brain but I think he’s lying. In fact I think he lives for Moronic Monday’s, just like our faithful listeners do but we’ll let him keep believing that if it makes him feel like he is in a safe place.

This has to be consider one of those non sequitur type shows where everything stems from tech talk but has absolutely nothing to with tech – well at least the closer we get to the end. From dead kid in the street to sneaky quadrotors to really bad tacos we cover it all not to mention that Sean gets his revenge and blinds me with a website so bad that it is actually awesome in a GeoCities way.

Wow what a change. Tonight’s show has both Sean and myself actually really liking something that happened to. However don’t get your hopes up that this is a new theme because we also found something (or a couple of things) that really irritated us – so not all is lost.

Both Sean and I talk about the frenzy that occurred this morning after some photos of a HPOA appear on the web that supposedly illustrated a woman quitting her job. Neither one of us felt that everything was copesetic about the story or the so-called unhappy employee. Time will tell but were pretty sure this is a prank that will come back to bite someone on the ass.

Each week we never think that we can top the week’s previous Moronic Monday and yet we always seem to find something that takes our incredulity to new heights. At the very least I find new and wonderful ways to make Sean question the human race and why we are still propagating this planet.

Oh and we (or at least me) bought a couple domains but you’ll have to listen to the show to find out what they are.
