    Best of November 2021, including Nick Chao's song Roses & Lead Paint

    Best of November 2021, including Nick Chao's song Roses & Lead Paint

    This is the first official monthly highlights episode of the Very Hicken Bros podcast; therefore, the edited episode jumps around within the month of November 2021. I put in many topics in the episode from the Talk to You Later livestream, which we had audio recordings of; such as the following: Trevor raves about Taco Bell's Grill Cheese Burrito. (https://www.tacobell.com/food/burritos/grilled-cheese-burrito) I share my NoName Nerd Minimeal NFT, which includes the crash of my computer; then, I take that moment to discuss my affiliation with NoName Nerd. (https://followmystream.com/alexnhicken/2021/11/20/minimeals/) Since the next subject is time sensitive I made sure to say the date that we published the next segment, which was dedicated to Kyung-bo Kim also known as the Overwatch League eSport’s athlete “Alarm," which was recorded/shared on November 10th, 2021. (https://www.ginx.tv/en/overwatch/overwatch-league-pro-alarm-has-passed-away-aged-20) Trevor and Nick discuss the Blizzard's Earnings call and the delay of Overwatch 2. (https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/2/22760118/activision-blizzard-delays-overwatch-2-and-diablo-4-again) Nick discusses Nikon and Cannon, catching up with Sony mirrorless cameras. I discuss Acala's successful crowdloan, and Nodle's crowdloan announcement. (https://nairametrics.com/2021/11/19/with-1-3-billion-staked-acala-wins-the-first-polkadot-parachain-auction/ & https://parachain.nodle.com)Trevor then shares his review of the Pixel 6 Pro. We conclude with my interview with Nick Chao on his rough sketch song called Roses and Lead Paint.

    Nick joins Trevor and I on this episode a first of Season 5 and more than a month for the Very Hicken Bros podcast. Kyler was offered double pay to work the night of recording the podcast, so he did not make it. I installed Windows 11 on my work laptop, and I share my first impressions. We discuss the following topics: Oura ring Generation 3 (https://www.acquiremag.com/tech/oura-ring-generation-3), Something Really Wants Our Attention: One Cosmic Object Emitted 1,652 Fast Radio Bursts in 47 Days. (https://scitechdaily.com/something-really-wants-our-attention-one-cosmic-object-emitted-1652-fast-radio-bursts-in-47-days/) PS5 and Xbox Shortages Could Last Until 2023. (https://kotaku.com/intel-says-cpu-and-gpu-shortages-may-last-until-2023-1847926285) Lastly, Nick recommends that you listen to Rat by Ghost. (https://youtu.be/C_ijc7A5oAc)
