The Super Bowl was absolutely EPIC in so many ways, but mostly because of the amazing FITC prop bet pool and the playoffs fantasy football challenge. The boys split the contests for the second year in a row, so just imagine what they could do if they combined their superpowers (Voltron? Megazord? Tayvis?). Join us in this last football-related episode before the boys hit the books studying for March Madness.

The FITC boys are READY for the BIG game this weekend! It's a sea of red in Las Vegas, where Kemp needs more per diem because he's blown it all on the Heads or Tails casino game. Our playoffs fantasy football game is coming down to the wire; can E hang on to his lead??  And we're bringing the HEAT with 15 prop bets for the SB. Let's gooo!!!

The Conference championships are DONE, and the Super Bowl is set. Turns out, the logo color conspiracy was only half correct this year, as both teams are very red. BUT... Red was one of Tay Swift's album names... the conspiracy stays alive! The FITC boys break-down the championship games and give a sneak-peek into what sort of fantasy production to expect from some of these young players in 2024. If you are boycotting football because of Taylor Swift, this is not the podcast for you.

The snow (and COVID) has finally subsided in Tennessee, and a "washed-out" KTrull is fighting for his life in our playoffs fantasy football contest. The sleuths of the interwebs have already decided that the NFL script has 49ers/Ravens in the Super Bowl, but the FITC boys are rooting for the Lions nonetheless. Also, E hasn't showered.

Another year, another fun contest taken away! Last season, the FITC boys had to create our own playoffs prop bet pick'em contest; this year, they've recreated the playoffs fantasy contest formerly hosted on NFL.com. The boys pick some wild prop bets and discuss their playoff expectations. The postseason is HERE!

The FITC boys recap championship week (spoiler alert, they are both losers...), and Kemp goes to a dark place... Just when he was ready to quit forever, a new dynasty league has roped him back in. E and Kemp discuss players who disappointed and some hidden gems from this season.

Well, the FITC boys had vastly different semifinals experiences. E lost a heartbreaker in the long-time Shiva league, while Kemp put up the most points of the entire season in a crushing victory in the new dynasty league. As we prep for championship week, the boys look back at their last Shiva championship rosters. Spoiler alert: there were a lot of Falcons, Panthers, and Steelers! Crazy how quickly the league changes...

If you are still alive in the playoffs, it might be in spite of some poor star player performances... But what do you do? Bench Derrick Henry and Austin Ekeler? Maybe so! In this jam-packed episode, The FITC boys discuss Christmas traditions and movies, update our surviving fantasy teams, recap the Crappy QB DO IT bet board, and give you some alternative names to consider starting in place of your "studs."

It's week 15 in the NFL, and the injuries keep mounting, particularly at the QB position. The FITC boys play a little trivia game on this latest batch of subpar QBs, and a crappy DO IT bet has been established for the week! We also pick every game and try to keep E unvictorious in Pigskin Pick'em.

The FITC boys spend way too much time talking basketball (stay in your lane, dudes...) and the mystery of Cooper Kupp. Kemp's playoff push continues but just hit a major snag with the Jonathan Taylor injury. Will he have enough juice to get past arch-rival Ethan (Oh My Goff) this week?

The FITC fellas (+ our villain, Kyle) run through and redraft rosters based on performance-to-date and expectations for the remainder of the year.  Many names remain at the top of the draft, but there are a few surprise risers and fallers.  Kemper defends Jonathan Taylor and Josh Jacobs truthers everywhere and professes his love for CJ Stroud. A CPU takes Nick Chubb in the second round (At least AI isn't taking over fantasy football anytime soon...)

Ethan continues his boondoggle with a back-to-back vacation, but this time he calls-in to the podcast from his panic room. Today, the FITC boys recap a wild week 10 in the NFL with some huge upsets and STUD performances. Fantasy football is so much more fun when players are blowing up. This week had one of the greatest catches in NFL history (no joke); 7 RBs with 100+ yards AND a TD; 9 WRs over 100 yards; and Justin Fields just being the Justin Fields that Kemp always believed in. The M*A*S*H unit was called in for Cooper Kupp and Zach Ertz, while Jerry Jeudy and Leonard Fournette are going to just rub some dirt on their injuries. If your team is in need of a medic, listen up for this week's waiver claims and our discussion on whether or not to believe in Christian Watson, Kadarius Toney, and Rachaad White. Check out our video feed at: https://youtu.be/MpvLxw2XoJ8

Holy smokes, it's week 10 already! We are past the half-way point in the NFL season, but it still feels like we don't know who some of these teams and players really are. The Jets, Dolphins, Seahawks, and Giants are projected playoff teams, while the Rams, Buccaneers, and Packers are flaming out like Rick Dalton's acting career. Our weekly DO IT bet involves Bruce Lee (the Detroit Lions) vs. Cliff Booth (Justin Fields). If you've seen the movie, you'll know how this one ends... The FITC boys were honored to have fellow podcast giant Fanacek join today to drop some knowledge about his bad ass podcast. He crushes some "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" trivia and even shows adequate football knowledge! Check out his podcast wherever you get your pods, blow him up on Twitter @fanacekpodcast, or email him for swag at fanacekpodcast@gmail.com.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.10.28.514236v1?rss=1 Authors: Lewandowski, S. I., Hodebourg, R., Wood, S. K., Carter, J. S., Nelson, K., Kalivas, P. W., Reichel, C. M. Abstract: Relapse to drug seeking involves transient synaptic remodeling that occurs in response to drug associated cues. This remodeling includes activation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) to initiate catalytic signaling in the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the nucleus accumbens core (NAcore). We hypothesized that MMP activity would be increased in the NAcore during cue-induced methamphetamine (meth) seeking in a rat model of meth use and relapse. Male and female rats had indwelling jugular catheters and bilateral intracranial cannula targeting the NAcore surgically implanted. Following recovery, rats underwent meth or saline self-administration (6hr/day for 15 days) in which active lever responding was paired with a light+tone stimulus complex, followed by home cage abstinence. Testing occurred after 7 or 30 days of abstinence. On test day, rats were microinjected with a FITC-quenched gelatin substrate that fluoresces following cleavage by MMPs, allowing for the quantification of gelatinase activity by MMP-2 and -9 during cued relapse testing. MMP-2,9 activity was significantly increased in the NAcore by meth cues presentation after 7 and 30 days of abstinence, indicating that remodeling by MMPs occurs during presentation of meth associated cues. Surprisingly, while cue-induced seeking increased between days 7 and 30, suggesting behavioral incubation, MMP-2,9 activity did not increase. These findings indicate that while MMP activation is elicited during meth cue-induced seeking, MMP activation did not parallel the behavioral incubation that occurs during extended drug abstinence.

That's right, after some time apart, these two are finally reuniting!  While it does hold true for Ethan and Kemper, we are more emphasizing the bond between these two siblings!  Now that they are back together, they realize some magic or sorcery was afoot as the Jets are 5-2, the Seahawks lead the NFC West, and the Giants have the same amount of wins as the undefeated Eagles.  Talk about into the unknown!  Unfortunately a lot of players got hit with a rogue icy blast from Elsa as there were some big time injuries.  Hopefully some of those hits were to the head (not the concussion kind, just the ice magic kind) and not the heart.  Check the VIDEO HERE!   Kemp was so sad he missed Blind resumes last week that we had to go right back to that favorite segment!  That's right, he is in the hotseat to see which resume he would choose and the results were quite interesting to say the least.  Hopefully there weren't any Hans's hiding in plain sight.  We also give you some targets on the waiver wire as Ethan may be listening to the QB options...   For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net!

Buckle up folks, it's time for your weekly news report about the NFL Week 7 slate.  Once again, a new guest host, this time Will McAvoy from ACN, gives you all the updates on the big names and breaks down each and every matchup.  Mac produces some great content as we compare the Raiders to a condiment college bowl, and debate the intelligence of one Jeff Daniels (is he the Dumb and Dumber version or The Newsroom?).  No censorship here folks as we deliver all the news set for Week 7 in the NFL and see what % of the population believes in Angels!  Check the VIDEO HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKy7FiWo0Ks He may be appearing in a guest capacity, but that doesn't mean he is safe from the hot seat.  Kyle Siegert is on tap for some Newsroom trivia, because yes, that is the most recent TV show or movie he is well versed in.  Also, this piece of information got to the news desk before it got to Kemper's hands, but Kyle also picks Kemper's Run Your Pool lineup for the week as well!  Now that's how you shake up a panel! For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net!

Time to suit up (the superhero kind) as Kemp is missing in action and these guys have to figure out how to save him.  Ok, maybe not save him, but save week 6!  Injuries and upsets galore plagued week 6 more than Thanos with a full gauntlet.  Our guest host Jason Thurston joins in with seeing which performances were worthy of an invite to the Avengers, and who may just putting up an illusion like Mysterio.  Check the VIDEO HERE He didn't know it, but in this episode, we also brought back a favorite segment from last season, that's right BLIND RESUMES!  We figured it was time as the season has started to round in to form now that we are 1/3 through.  Which side will Tony Start be on in this "Civil War" amongst players as they all state their resumes to be chosen.  Who is backing their draft positions while who should have been left off team Cap? For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net!

Check the episode video HERE!  Let's all head over to Shenanigans, order some mozzarella sticks, and share a litre of cola as we preview what is going to happen in week 6!  Team RamRod is here to get you ready for all the action.  Will one of us get pistol whipped as we gloss over two weak matchups this week?  Will we break out in a syrup chugging contest?  We do know that Johnny Chimpo has taken out some big name players this week in fantasy, and the dreaded BYE weeks are upon us!  Put on your best biker disguise and strap in to your 10 million dollar car as we do this! We also engage in what some may call evil shenanigans as Ethan is back in the hotseat for trivia.  We have brought it back to some more civilized questions so let's see how he can do.  We also set up a sting operation as we submit our Run Your Pool.com fantasy lineups and Farva may start having to suit up for these teams as players are thinning out fast...

The Red Baron is chasing Snoopy, but don't worry, Woodstock has his back! This dynamic duo is here to help recap week 5, and also try and understand what those dang parents are saying! The Red Baron must have gotten some critical shots off because there was a string of injuries this past weekend (some bones indeed!). Snoopy also busts out the typewriter to write down some crucial waiver wire targets to replace your struggling QBs or RBs.  Be sure to check the episode HERE!   Also, new segment alert!  You know, the season can be long and really takes a toll on your body.  As aforementioned, check on all those players with said injuries.  With this being said, we decide to calm things down a bit and play a little online game against one another in a gentlemanly fashion.  That's right folks, online mini golf!  The rules are we have 9 holes to talk about one topic and see how far we can get.  Truly deep dives and riveting commentary abound!  Oh yeah, we also recap the DO IT bet board and our fantasy league (spoiler alert, we are struggling)   For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net!

Buckle up for this one, because we are flashing back all the way to 2004...err well that's when the movie was released, but the Trojan war was way longer ago...Anyway, Odysseus and Achilles dominate the preview for week 5.  Who knew this wouldn't be Brad Pitt's biggest box office success?  How does Kemper not know who Sean Bean is (and that he dies in almost everything he is in).  Well, these two also make a plan on how to get the most out of this week in the NFL and it may or may not involve hiding inside a horse (a Bronco perhaps?).  We make our picks with some excellent strategic moves.   Kemper is back on the hot seat for some trivia, and will he be hit in the heel or will he be the unstoppable force that a charging Achilles can be?  No more pain staking questions this time as we get to some meat of these trivia tid bits!  We also set up another battle to the death with our Run Your Pool fantasy league and Ethan went heavy with Ajax.  Kemper is slow playing this week in an attempt to keep his armies fresh...

Check the video HERE Hide yours stapler, make sure nothing else is encased in Jell-O, because Jim and Dwight are here to recap all that went down Week 4 in the NFL.  It seems like a lot of players like the smell of bacon in the morning, and have a George Foreman grill right next to their beds, because we had a ton of injuries, so break out the bubble wrap!  Baker Mayfield is doing his best impression of Stanley playing basketball, that Panthers fans are yearning for Sam Darnold to come back from injury.  Kevin may not be the best with numbers, but he can tell ya Jared Goff is a viable fantasy starter.  Finally, the Dolphins may be getting a call from Toby in HR with how they handled Tua...   We walk trough all the games, highlighting all the impactful fantasy performances, clearly finding out who carbo loaded on fettuccine alfredo before the games.  Kemper is once again in the hot seat for some "On Campus" so see if he can figure out which TE went to VCU...We also update the Do It Bet Board and let you know how our office olympics teams are doing and who will get the yogurt top gold medals this week.   For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net!

I'll be back!  No, we aren't quoting James Robinson who defied all odds to already be playing this season and is a big reason the Jags are 2-1, we are talking week 4 and prime-time players who hope they can return to form this week and show out!  Don't be scared as Kemper runs very intimidatingly towards you, as he just wants to let you know who he thinks are going to be the winners this weekend.  We say hasta la vista to a few players this weekend as they will probably not play, but hopefully not crunch too many numbers that Skynet starts taking over...   Ethan is in the hotseat for T-2 trivia and Kemper was out for more revenge than Sarah Connor escaping the mental asylum!  The T-1000 proves why he was an upgrade at terminator, but the T-800 still shows he can keep up in a fight.  We also look into the future past judgment day as FITC'ers hope their picks reign supreme in the RunYourPool.com fantasy lineups.  Oh yeah, our DO IT weekly bet also features quarterbacks who we hope make more mistakes than Miles Dyson did when he created the microchip that led to Skynet and the machines taking over!   For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net!

Shout-out to new cheese-head, Jack Thome, of Needham, MA!   The Dolphins and Eagles are the last unbeaten teams in the NFL; The Jaguars look like a playoff team; And our ex just showed up to the same resort I'm staying at with a half-naked Aldous Snow on her arm... WHAT IS THIS?! But hey, we can't be mad because our "consolation prize" is Mila Kuniz (no football equivalent).   This week, the FITC boys dish on the upside-down NFL season. Would you give up surfing just because you got attacked by a shark?! Then don't give up on fantasy football just because your team is 0-3! The weather outside is weather, so just roll with the punches. If it's time to shake-up your team, so be it. Use these waiver pickups to help give your team a shot in the arm. There's no need to go all "Ken Dorsey" just yet!   Ethan attempts to conquer "On Campus," and the DO IT bets are still too close to call.

Yo Adrian!  Well, Yo listeners!  (doesn't have the same ring to it)  Anyway, we are here to preview all the action in week 3.  Just like how Rocky and Apollo went 15 rounds, we preview all 15 (+1) games this week on the slate.  First up on the card are some WOOF match ups, but somebody has to win em right?  Maybe that's where our next underdog story will come from -- looking at you Falcons and Titans.  Then we have some juicy match ups getting ready for the title fight of this week, as the energized Lions play the Vikes and the Packers travel to the Bucs.  But the match we have all been doing our training montages for is Bills/Dolphins as they are the title match up for week 3!  We give you our picks and see who can go the distance.  Watch it HERE   Rocky has a storied history and has an impressive catalog of 8 (that's right - getting up there with Fast and the Furious numbers) movies, buuuuuuuuuttt Ethan decided to only focus on the original for trivia.  Let's just say, Kemper is ready to take a page out of Ivan Drago's playbook and say "I will crush you" leading up to the next time Ethan is in the hot seat...   Cue the montage as we also give a rundown (of the Philadelphia Art Museum steps maybe) of our Runyourpool.com fantasy contest, and set up another "Do It" bet of the week.  See who has the eye of the tiger in those match ups and get those gloves up!   For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net! 

Suit up!  (Well SEE one of us Suit up with the video of our episode HERE) That's right, Harvey Spectre and Mike Louis Litt Ross are here to recap everything that was week 2.  The Dolphins did a great job showcasing exhibits A and B (that is Tyreek and Jaylen) proving to all fantasy owners that there are enough targets and yards to go around.  We submit grounds for dismissal to all those naysayers questioning whether the 49ers should have kept Jimmy G, as he is now QB1 the rest of the season with Trey Lance injured.  We also ask that the court holds Arthur Smith in contempt as he continues to mismange one Kyle Pitts as THIS IS fantasy and why not let your best player produce.  Finally, we give our closing arguments as the whether or not Jared Goff is a viable starter   While we went through studs and duds for week 2, we also propose a merger of resources as we highlight who to target on the waiver wire.  Is there a case to pickup a rookie Jets WR?  Who should be his QB?  With Dalton Schultz out, what witness, err we mean TE should you look to replace him?  We also round up some anonymous tips to see if Kemper can figure out who these people are in "On Campus"  Dont forget, his streak is on the line...   For custom-curated FITC content, check out our white glove consulting business "The Pool Boys" at www.thepoolboys.net!  Also, don't forget to join our NFL pick'em pool HERE

Do we BELIEVE the Steelers can make it 2 in a row? Do we BELIEVE Mike Williams has a bounce-back game on TNF? Do we BELIEVE that Matthew Slater has caught more or less than 2 passes in his NFL career? You'll have to tune-in to find out! The FITC boys recap last week's DO IT bet - Kemp says "F no" to ice cream for Ethan, as he predicted Allen Robinson would have more fantasy points than Amon-Ra St. Brown. They also give updates on their RunYouPool.com NFL Fantasy contest lineups and the ESPN Pigskin Pick'em week 1 results. Grab your popcorn as the Diamond Dogs previews every Week 2 game in the NFL.

“With Play, we just serve up all of these amazing things that Apple has created and give designers the ability to kind of play in the sandbox that Apple has created we layer our essentially our play UI on top o that and we give them the properties to manipulate.” — Dan LaCivitaWhat if it were possible to design and build a mobile product all on your phone — and what if it were a better way of working?As designers, we are used to designing on our computer - which is often not the end-device of interaction. There are easy ways to transfer the content to phones but with our new guest Dan LaCivita we discuss a bold new idea:What if you could design directly on your phone and it would be even better then designing on a different device?Are a keyboard, mouse, and desktop the best tools for creating mobile products… or have they become barriers? That question started the journey of what came to be Play which Dan founded together with colleagues. Play is the first native iOS design tool built for creating mobile products. What does it mean for the future of design?Design, iterate, and collaborate directly from your phone, experiencing your design as you create it while taking full advantage of native iOS features to bring your product to life. We are thrilled to launch our EP65 with Dan LaCivita, Co-Founder of Play. In the episode, we chat about the role of mobile interactions for innovation. Also why innovation often starts by saying "NO" when it comes to product requirements. The approach of focus actually opens up the field for innovation. We also dig into cross-device interaction and his experience leading a major design agency in New York called Firstborn, which got later acquired where you can learn about how to run a large design business and grow it even further. Thanks a lot for your time and for your learnings Dan!*************The GuestDan LaCivita is an entrepreneur and servant leader who has built, grown and led successful teams and businesses in the digital space for over 15 years. His latest venture, Play, is transforming how teams create mobile products by empowering them to design, build and experience their product in real time—all on the medium they're designing for—their phone. Previously, as CEO of award-winning agency Firstborn, Dan led teams to create powerful digital products and experiences for a client roster that includes PepsiCo, L'Oréal, Adidas, S&P Global, Supercell, Jet & NYU Langone. Under his guidance, Firstborn's work has been recognized with numerous awards including Clios, Cannes Lions and One Show Pencils; the agency, itself, has been placed on prestigious rosters such as Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies (2x), Advertising Age's Agency A List and Crain's Best Places to Work in New York City (4x). A thoughtful commentator thanks to his diverse roles within the industry, Dan has penned his point of view for Fast Company, Forbes, Advertising Age and Adweek and has spoken at the Financial Times, Ad Age Digital, 99U and FITC conferences, to name a few. Dan was also named to the 4A's “100 People Who Make Advertising Great” list, Direct Marketing News' 2016 '40 Under 40' list and sat on the Digital Board of Directors of the 4A's.Outside of work, Dan's passions include participating in GORUCK Challenges, team-based endurance events that push your physical and mental limits. Inside and outside the office, Dan can often be found shuffling a deck of cards—a nod to his passion for the art of close-up magic.

It's officially Super Bowl week which means we have reached the summit of the NFL season.  It's all been building to this and the squads are trying to be perfect.  Before all that though, it's time to celebrate as we have another birthday in the FITC family!  Who is it this time?    We also discuss the most important of matters as to what is the best Super Bowl snack combination?  Kemper is steeped in tradition and lots of familial rituals while Ethan yearns for one Holy Grail of Super Bowl snacks.  Everywhere we go, people want to know, who we are, so we tell them.  We are Fold in The Cheese!

Does water suck?  Does Gatorade do more to quench your thirst?!  Don't let that devil talk be spoken around Bobby or he will Terry-Tate you in a heartbeat.  Bobby and Coach Klein preview Championship weekend as we get ever closer to the Super Bowl.  It's crunch time and the match-ups are even tighter.  We channel our best Vicky Vallencourt impressions to guess the scores exactly...just ask Lynn Swann    Are the Mud Dogs playing this weekend?  What is the prop bet for number of sacks that will occur?  One of those two questions actually gets discussed as we do our playoff pigskin pick'em and breakdown match-ups and props that are going to be seen this weekend.   Also, while discussing DFS, we had something happen for the first time in FITC history.  Trust me, it is monumental, and even more magical than the high quality H20 coming from that majestic glacier   Momma said keep listening because even though Fantasy season is over, we got lots to go over!

That's right, we are talking Frozen here.  So Let it Go if you didn't make it to your fantasy football championship, there is still a lot to be playing for and paying attention to!  In these championship and consolation matches, we go through some key injuries and starting issues **breaking Kirk Cousins to the COVID list, no game for him Sunday!  We may even talk to Grandpappy troll to see if he can foresee what will happen   Kemp is in the ship for our league so he asks some tough questions as to who to start and who to sit.  Will Zeke be playing the roll of Hans and unsuspecting villain for his team?  Will Aman-Ra St. Brown be the surprising and pleasant upstart Oaken?  These pressing questions and comparisons are discussed, as well as Ethan getting grilled on some Frozen trivia.  Can't we agree that Olaf is technically a monster?   Hope everyone had a great holiday and is ready to ring in 2022!  The FITC crew is happy to have had you along for the ride in 2021 and we are expecting even bigger things as 2022 as we continue to Keep on Folding!

There are moments in life when we find ourselves going through situations that we never imagined. It is there, where comes the moment to reflect, decide, and act. If you find yourself going through a difficult time, start by asking yourself what happiness is for you. From that, you can get down to work and start doing things that make you feel fulfilled, and that in turn lead to success. Keep in mind that happiness and success mean different things for each person, it is up to you to have those concepts very clear and strongly established. As we take action, we must fill ourselves with confidence. Everyone has a gift and it is their duty to share it with the world. The more confident you are of what you do, the more valuable you will be able to create opportunities for both yourself and those around you. Acting without fear is complex. We are human, and fear is felt naturally within us when we do not know or are not sure what is going to happen, how, or where we are going to be tomorrow. Reprogram yourself and do things that scare you, that's how the character is forged. Don't be afraid to be and show yourself as you really are. The time to take action is now, keep in mind that stars are born from moments of chaos. These are the tips Dot Lung gave us in this episode of the Resilient Minds Podcast. Dot Lung, ¨The Mother of Social Dragons¨ empowers young creatives, artists, and designers to take over the world and create a living with social media.

Your various realities — virtual, augmented, X, etc — are often talked about in the realm of vision, since we humans lean on vision as our major sense. But the folks at Bose, like today’s guest Michael Ludden, know that there’s room for sound in XR too. Alan: Welcome to the XR for Business Podcast with your host, Alan Smithson. Today’s guest is Michael Ludden, global head of developer advocacy and principal augmented reality advocate at Bose Technologies. Michael is a technologist, futurist, strategist, product leader, and developer platform expert who loves to operate on the bleeding edge of what’s possible, and is a frequent keynote speaker at events around the world. Michael was previously director of IBM’s Watson’s Developer Lab for a AR and VR, among some other career stops. To learn more about the work he’s doing at Bose, you can visit developer.bose.com. Michael, welcome to the show. Michael: Wow, what an intro. Thanks for having me. Alan: It’s my absolute pleasure and honor to have you on the show. I’m super excited. I was talking to all fine and last week. I was flying from Toronto to San Francisco, and I just happened to sit beside a guy who we started talking about AR and I pulled out the North Glasses. He pulled out the Bose Frames; we swap. And we had this kind of meeting of the minds. I had the visual, he had the audio and it was really cool that I got to try the Bose Frames. What an amazing piece of technology. Michael: Glad you liked it. Alan: So you’ve had a storied career here. You’ve done everything from IBM Watson, to Google, to HTC, Samsung. How did you end up in technology, and why did you get so fascinated on futurism? Michael: Well, it’s sort of been a running theme in my life. I read a lot of science fiction as a kid and I was always interested in technology and — not to date myself — but at a certain point in my life when I was a young adult, technology started to really aggressively eat everything, starting with mobile. And I just found that was really the point of inflection in my life where I studied musical theater in college, I went to UCLA. I thought that’s what I was going to do. I really did. And I did get a B.A. so I got a little arts education, too. And at the same time, I was always tinkering with stuff, building my own PCs. I started my own web development company at one point to make Web sites in Flash, CS2, and CS3 in the early days; it was brutal. Alan: There’s a conference in Toronto called Flash in the Can; FITC. Michael: Nice. Alan: That’s old school. Michael: It is very old school. And, you know, I never really thought I’d make a career out of it, but I needed money. I was a starving actor in L.A. and one of my friends who I just made by being nerdy, worked for a company called HTC. They were releasing the first-ever Android phone, which was called The Dream — or the G1 in the US. So I was in contact with this guy; he got a promotion. He said, “you should take my old job,” which was L.A.-based, and I was living there. And I said, “I want to do it.” I was working on a podcasting platform called This Week In — not This Week in Tech — but This Week In. It was a Jason Calacanis-led network out of the old Mahalo Studios in Santa Monica. But it paid me pennies. And when they told me what the job paid and what I’d be doing, I said, “OK, I guess I’ll do it.” I needed the money, and it was very flexible. It felt really easy to me, like that’s really all you need me to d
