This week we review Tonio K.’s EP “La Bomba”. Five songs of wonderment. As with the previous review of the Dwarves album, we visit the Book of Proverbs 🙂
Given our tendency to go off on tangents in past Squats, we have introduced the tangent tally – a feature on all future Squat Cobblers (and past ones when Kelly gets around to it). Just our gift to listeners to warn them in advance on how meandering an episode might be.
Also, in what is likely a vain attempt to cleanse future shows from this, we decided to do a show of nothing but tangents to “get them out of our (Mike’s) system”.
So enjoy our discussion of hashtag games/bacon/MABA hats/The New Orleans Saints/the “big game”/Applebees/Women’s World Cup/Canada/Cloverfield/True Blood/TV shows/Ted Bundy/court appearances/Varg/Prison Escapes.
This channel is a treasure trove on all sorts of technology tidbits ranging from closed captioning, LEDs, DVD-RAM, Laserdiscs,etc…
Mike specifically mentioned the segment on the history of cassette tapes as a “must listen”
Kelly’s Recommendation – Walking Dead Our World app
Great game play, augmented reality, and zombies (!) in the Pokemon Go meets the Walking Dead app. Available on Android and iOS, this joint effort between Google Maps and AMC is extremely fun to play. Game play is intuitive, but if you want to take it to the next level, Reddit has all the information you would ever need. The app is challenging Pokemon Go as Kelly’s go to “walk in and out of work” entertainment.
As mentioned in the podcast, Kelly recommended Pokemon Go on Nurture and Support 120 (July 2016). In a clear violation of recommendation protocol, Mike recommended Pokemon Go on Squat Cobbler 8 (August 2016).
Please remember, if Mike recommends The Walking Dead Our World at a later date, we all need to call him out and declare “CHICANERY! CHICANERY!”
Social Media Recommendations
Kelly: @ChrisEvans – Captain America is a must follow as we approach Avenger’s Endgame… plus Mr. Evans is a stand up guy
Mike: Kelly’s YouTube channel – home of Nurture and Support, Squat Cobbler, A Saul and Battery, and other silliness.
This week you’ll get a great YouTube channel recommendation and a fun retro gaming option. In addition to the recommendations, Mike and Kelly wander around such topics as YouTube comments, monetization, the Amiga 2000, BASIC, and The Killing Joke.
Kelly’s Recommendation
Orvix Cosplay – This is an awesome YouTube channel run by an equally awesome person. It has cosplay talk, how-to videos, vlogs from cons and Disneyland… what’s not to love?
Here is the super cool Killing Joke shirt project Kelly mentioned
Mike’s Recommendation
The C64 Mini – Aside from a keyboard unable to cope with Mike’s large man hands, this is a pretty amazing retro gaming option – at a great price. Not only can you install additional games to the system, it comes fully operational for you to code and run BASIC programs.
