E218: Technology Jumped The Shark

Technology cannot be trusted to operate as designed. Therefore, it has jumped the shark!

How does one go into "settings" to program a device and have it perform beautifully...until it doesn't? Rick yells at the audio console, an inanimate object void of emotion and thought, for rendering his mic unusable again.

After that, things get underway with Evan's recount of his struggles with ordering beer in NYC (It's not as hard as he makes it sound).

Then Rick shares his brilliant idea of turning his kids' big wooden play structure into a chicken coop.

Finally, Mike the Minister of Misinformation from Mesa provides a deeper dive into where your body may go when you donate it to science. Have you ever heard of a body farm?

About the Podcast

Small Town Scuttlebutt

We react to the overreactions of small town problems.

Making sense of what’s happening in our society is complicated. From the perpetual virtue-signaling to the over-reliance on water bottles, small towns across the globe are facing serious challenges. The man-bun, mommy blogs, and people who consider figure skating a sport; they’re all egregiously wrong!

So, if your typical day is stymied by self-checkout machines that always need an employee override or your inbox is flooded with way too many over-worded emails from your kid’s school, we can commiserate.

Join us as we critically examine these quandaries and more every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else cool podcasts are found.
