What bet­ter way to punc­tu­ate an episode deal­ing with society’s reliance on tech­nol­ogy than with a bar­rage of com­puter crashes that are a resid­ual result of Trip’s com­puter prob­lems that he had in Unti­tled Episode 5?

None. None bet­ter way, really.

In this episode: A dis­cus­sion about tech­nol­ogy brought on by an arti­cle the guys read about Nicholas Carr‘s new book, mul­ti­ple com­puter crashes, Trip inces­santly types try­ing to Google ways to keep his com­puter from crash­ing again, Jeremy gets all Mer­lin Mann–ish about the sub­ject at hand, tools vs. nov­el­ties, Trip$ha.

A cou­ple of weeks ago, Jeremy and Trip sat down and did an incred­i­bly riv­et­ing ses­sion over the release of Red Dead Redemp­tion and the tech­nol­ogy of immer­sive, infi­nite choice/pathway gam­ing and prob­a­bly some other stuff that would totally knock your socks right off.

Then Jeremy took a week’s vaca­tion. When he returned, he had no idea what he did with the source files for the episode.  It was as if they van­ished from the face of the Earth.

Instead, please enjoy Trip singing a karaoke ren­di­tion of Edwyn Collins’ A Girl Like You.

Some­times you’ve gotta throw away a few rot­ten apples before you can make a pie, and pod­casts are kinda like that. You’ve got to know your lim­i­ta­tions. You’ve got to feel out your audi­ence. And, every once in a while you just have got to Vase­line up a melon hole before you can fuck it.

In This Episode: Why YouTube sucks and the secret where­abouts of Google’s head­quar­ters, iPad sight­ings after the big “buy me” week­end, Cory Doc­torow and his insis­tence on tin­ker­ing, cow-induced RAM destruc­tion, nat­u­rally sat­is­fied inno­va­tion, Nean­derthal vocal chords.

We were incred­i­bly lucky to have Piper from Lazy Eye The­atre drop in and talk Oscars 2010 with us. Of course, we got a lit­tle off sub­ject, but had some great film con­ver­sa­tion come out of it.

Make no mis­take about it though, this was def­i­nitely Trip and Piper’s episode. That’s what Jeremy gets for not watch­ing any of the movies up for Oscars this year.

In This Episode: Piper drops in, Oscar 2010 talk, pre­dic­tions and/or fan­tasies, Blu-Ray movies, Where The Wild Things Are, how The Wiz­ard Of Speed And Time rules ass, Kather­ine Bigelow, soul-sucking to com­plete screenplays.

On the off chance that you ever cared about what Jeremy and Trip talk about when the mics are “off,” we will bring you out­takes from pre­vi­ous episodes from time to time.

In this out­take: Jeremy and Trip talk about take-out Chi­nese food.

Trip con­tin­ues to have com­puter prob­lems. Jeremy tries to cap­i­tal­ize on this fact in order to gain lis­ten­er­ship at the expense of Trip’s bit­ter tears. Hilar­ity ensues.

In this episode: Lis­ten­ing to Pan­dora instead of an MP3 col­lec­tion, Trip runs down the con­tents of his lost 1TB hard drive, Jeremy sug­gests “Ter­abytes For Trip,” a telethon designed to raise funds to revive Trip’s data (or the inner city youth cen­ter), Baby Jacket Dance, phone com­ments that aren’t really com­ments at all, show sug­ges­tions from the Face­book fan page, a pro­mo­tion for the day that we get 100 iTunes subscribers.

Seri­ously though, if any­one knows how to res­cue hard drive data and wants to do some­thing decent, give us a call or send us a mes­sage. Trip would appre­ci­ate it.

Ever the oppor­tunists, Jeremy and Trip decide to hop on the iPad hype band­wagon and do a spe­cial episode that deals solely with last week’s iPad announce­ment. Even with Jeremy tak­ing his nor­mal role as an Apple diehard and Trip hold­ing his ground as a PC (even though he said that PCs are like old peo­ple), a few sur­pris­ing things are dis­cov­ered about every­one involved.

In this episode: Jeremy and Trip talk about the iPad, Trip’s PC pukes up the BSOD mid-sentence, two grown men get way too excited about a prod­uct that hasn’t even hit the shelves.

There’s really no rea­son that Jeremy and Trip can think of for you to take a trip to the Den­ver Inter­na­tional Air­port. That place just seems like it’s pure evil.

In this episode: Trip’s cameo on TNT’s Lever­age, pimp­ing the show for max­i­mum social media impact, Tay Zonday’s crazy recluse ten­den­cies, social media purg­ing, the Pacific North­west Tree Octo­pus, wel­come to Den­ver, CO: HOME OF THE APOCALYPSE, being “that guy” at the gui­tar store, Calls From Unknown Peo­ple #1.
