Soon I'm going to have to stop using "I moved long-distance" as an excuse, but that time has not yet arrived, so apologies for missing July, but I was moving! Moooooviiiiiiing, which sucks. Anyway. I'm joined today by Yasmine Evjen, one of the fabulous co-hosts of the Material Podcast, which covers the Googleverse over on Relay. Yasmine and I are basically the same person when it comes to interpersonal relations, so you know she has some good stories! Stuff (and people, oooh gossip) we talked about: Material Podcast Russell Ivanovic Google IO Material Design session and awards video Chris Lacy Jason Howell All About Android Action Launcher Deutche Bank, AKA douche bank Wink Murder, an annoying party game Nerf guns! Here are Popular Mechanics’ To 10 Nerf Guns of All Time

My friend Bob joins me to tell some of his crazy stories. Bob is an old-school IT guy, and not entirely free of Bastard Operator from Hell tendencies. Bob's appetite for mayhem makes mine look positively tame, so enjoy some of his "yes I really did do that" stories!

I have failed to be a contestant on Jeopardy twice now!

Head injuries: do not recommend.

I don't know why they didn't stop using this agency sooner

I would never actually do these things... I think.

Oddly this is my most downloaded episode, pre-ESN

I can still neither confirm nor deny my former place of employment

I spent one summer working at [Redacted] and it was... interesting.

Sometimes I'm The IT Guy even though I'm not The IT Guy anymore

I swear this is all literally true and happened.
