In this episode, chef Wylie Dufresne demonstrates the best way to carve whatever fowl you might be having this Thanksgiving, whether it’s a traditional turkey, or, as it was in our podcast studio, an overcooked rotisserie chicken from Whole Foods supermarket. Then, at the testing roundtable, we crash test Motorola’s new shatterproof phone, the Droid Turbo 2, and see if a copper-infused t-shirt can help us jump father, stretch better, or even look good.
Motorola builds a shatterproof phone and we put it to the test. Samsung builds a tablet the size of a TV and we look on with concern. And Nintendo finally makes the jump to your smartphone screen ... and we get all nostalgic for Tetris and Toobin'.

It was a good week to arguing about the state of television, with both Apple and Roku releasing new content delivery boxes. A trio of original Verge editors — Nilay Patel, Chris Ziegler, and Ross Miller — are joined by Helen Havlak in the Hype seat. In between heated debates about universal remotes and IR blasters, our Fab Four find time to talk about HTC's One A9 and — quite literally — toss around the new "drop-proof" Droid Turbo 2.

On this episode of the Droid Life Show, we have two major topics before getting into a couple of new phones. Those two topics happen to be our Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X reviews, since we finally finished and posted them moments ago. We'll share thoughts on which we like the best, if we would recommend one or the other, and if one (hint, hint) may even qualify as phone of the year. After that, well, we'll dive into our first impressions of Motorola and Verizon's new phones, the DROID Turbo 2 and MAXX 2, the HTC One A9, and the OnePlus X. We have spent time with them all and will have reviews up soon.
It's always a good episode when something crazy happens to Chris. This week he accidentally left his DROID Turbo in the freezer overnight. We also discuss old Android phone designs, the Asus Zenfone 2, LG G4 launch date, Mad Men finale, and much more!
This week the guys answer one simple question: what are the 5 most important apps/services that every phone needs to have? It's not as easy as you might think. They also discuss early HTC One M9 review, Peter Chou's exit from HTC, Cyanogen drama, and Chris' quest to buy a gold DROID Turbo for some reason.
On episode 72 of the DL Show, we recap our Nexus 9 and DROID Turbo reviews, plus talk new (and surprising) Nexus 6 thoughts as well. We also dive into the new Amazon Echo, Material Design updates, new happenings around Google Play, and more.
T-Mobile continues it's incredible growth, Motorola and Verizon announce the Droid Turbo, and if you give Google a minute, they'll give you a free international call. How to Contact us: How to Listen:
If you want your very own huge Google smartphone, great news! Preorders are open right no– oh, never mind; they're sold out already. But not to worry! If you missed out on claiming your own Nexus 6, we've got other mobile happenings to sate your salacious smartphone and smartwatch desires: an Oppo with a motorized camera, a fitness band Microsoft maybe wasn't quite ready to announce, and a new Droid made of something called ballistic nylon, just in case someone shoots you in the pocket this scary holiday season. Also ahead: a look at whether Quad HD screens really do suck your battery's blood, a video proving Project Ara is no zombie, and an editorial from our Chief News Editor on why mobile payments just can't seem to get out of the grave. And if you thought those Halloween jokes were lame, well ... you ain't seen jack (-o-lantern) yet.

On this special episode of the DL Show, we talk about today's batch of announcement that included the unveiling of the Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, and Android 5.0 Lollipop. After that, it's on to the DROID Turbo and some questions surrounding updates to Android Lollipop.
Apple's about to drop the world's thinnest tablet with the iPad Air 2, HTC's branching out to build more than just smartphones with the HTC RE, and Sony's ... well, Sony's sticking to its guns with the Z3v smartphone. Last year's guns, to be precise. Amid all this, the rumor mill continues churning forth. Motorola isn't done shedding secrets, with the Nexus 6 and Droid Turbo leaks coming fast and furious in the lead up to a presumably imminent launch. The Note Edge is promised to go on sale this month even as Samsung's year-over-year profits crash into the basement, and Microsoft has plans to foster a brand new messaging platform even as Google Voice finally decides to take MMS seriously.
