Smart on tech stuff

Smart on tech stuff but fawning over Apple responses to a “pandemic” that is no longer is getting tiresome.
Static is better

If you like the ramblings of two uninformed elitist liberal progressives, this show is for you. Listened to it for years, but since Elon Musk had the audacity to support free speech via his Twitter purchase, these two have come down with a variant of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They cannot stop talking about how dumb Elon is and how smart they are. When they do actually talk about tech, Jeff is prepared and Bryan never is. Rest of the show is spent getting Bryan up to speed, unless they are pushing his hack new book. Jeff fawns over the book like some Faulkneresque groupie. Yes, Media Matters is an evil organization. I am done….deleted
Will love this show if you are left wing
