I get to be loud and proud on this podcast!I bit the (debt spiral) bullet and upgraded my phone-ware, which should be arriving in 5 weeks, and hopefully help when I need to record phone podcasts, not have my battery die—and oh, make VIRAL VIDEOS which I kinda-sorta-have now!

BART sucks at connecting the Bay Area, and apparently can't handle this heat. San Francisco decriminalized hallucinogenic drugs. I'm trying to not run out of money and doing a terrible job.Support the show
