Show 8: Just the Two of Us
Posted by Chris | Filed under Apple, Current Events, Design, Entertainment, iPhone, iPod, Random, Technology
Intro: Our unofficial Indiana Jones review (or un-review) and why Chris refuses to see it (hint: it has to do with Harrison Ford being old). Plus, EJ thinks Harrison has some big guns.
“I’m in the industry…”
What if gas hits $10 a burrito… I mean gallon? Excuse me. MSN Money asks the question, “What if gas cost $10 a gallon?” And then proceeds to answer it.
By the way, there are 3.78541178 liters per 1 US gallon.
Conspiracy theorists unite! Is there a superficial supply and demand to gasoline prices? Are people not going to be able to go to work? Who will make our McDonald’s hamburgers and McNuggets? Who will charge us when we forget to return our library books? Will minimum wage be raised? How will the Lumbergh’s of the world be satisfied when they can’t bother you about your TPS report covers? How many times can we say “twelve million dollars”?
Our predicament is caused by the Chinese. They are doing to us what we did to the Europeans when Americans started driving. By the way, I have ALL the information to back this up.
“So, we’re on this kick of iPhone killers. Two of them are spittin’ images…”
We talk about 3 potential iPhone killers (Dave, you’re phone’s days are numbered).
Wait, how did that get in there?
“How to dismantle your Timebomb.”
How to take apart your iPod, void your warranty and give your wife an excuse for you to get a new one. Talk about killing 3 birds with one stone.
Ever want to see how big 20 or 30 business cards are? Open up your iPod and take out the hard drive.
“The Power is where the people are.”
Indie labels combine to form a “virtual fifth major.” And it’s follow-up.
It’s amazing how we seamlessly flow from this to the reason TV shows are actually on TV (hint: it’s to shove crap down EJ’s throat). And all actors are dancing monkeys.
“Want a TiVo?”
“Yeah.”
“What kind?”
“Dr. Pepper.”
Next? Chris’s plug for Snapstream’s Beyond TV and EJ’s plug for PlayStation 3.
“I wouldn’t say he was a rabid fan like you, me and P.O.D.”
